3/5
Hampered by pacing that borders on glacial, the performances infuse the story with lingering melancholy. Go to Full Review

3/6
Naturalistic performances, long takes, unfussy edits and a story that unfolds over a few hours are all present and correct. Go to Full Review

An impressive chamber piece by a director who needs watching. Go to Full Review
Boyd van Hoeij european-films.net Jan 20, 2009
Three 30-somethings relive their gloriously lurid college days for one night only in Radu Muntean's Boogie, a restrained and honest look at the male midlife crisis in an embryonic state. Go to Full Review

Camero W @RT71510397 Aug 29, 2024 Super well shot and the timing was spot on. The ending made me mad at Boogie See more Aug 9, 2017 Some may quibble with the pacing, but the ensemble acting and direction are all superb. See more Nov 28, 2013 Macar e mai bun decat majoritatea filmelor post-comuniste. O sa mai avem vreodata filme ca Dacii sau Mihai Viteazul la care sa ne uitam relaxati duminica dupa-masa? Se pare ca toti directorii moderni incearca din toate puterile sa ne ofere numa filme de cacat. See more Jun 10, 2013 Even if it is improvised by actors its been done superbly,during those long shots..!!! guess the whole movie consists of 10 or 12 shots....!! The great thing about this movie is that there's nothing great in it,Radu Muntean has tried his best to show this story in the simplest and most honest way possible... Impressive....! See more Feb 9, 2012 Extremely boring movie. I went into this expecting that it would be a fun young people comedy and instead found a snorefest about a 30 something guy and his boring middle aged friends. The acting in this is extremely forced, from boring family drama, to boring friends and extremely tame flashbacks from his youth. If you need a sleeping pill - this movie provides it in spades. See more Jan 25, 2012 A really honest Romanian film about a 30-year-old man coming to terms with his life. At times it drags, but it is worth it. See more Read all reviews
