In a gripping tale of best intentions gone wrong, leading Romanian filmmaker Radu Muntean (Tuesday, After Christmas) follows a trio of well-meaning aid workers from Bucharest on a food delivery mission to the rural hinterlands of the Întregalde area of Transylvania. Guided off the beaten path by an elderly villager looking for a local sawmill, they find themselves trapped in an unfamiliar, dangerous place and facing the outer limits of their goodwill for each other and for strangers. An inquiry into the contemporary humanitarian impulse that moves like a suspense thriller--but which never quite goes where you expect it to--Muntean's film knowingly plays off and subverts conventions of both horror films and social realist drama.

[A] tense, gripping, darkly funny and ultimately compassionate movie...

Instead of a nightmare, Muntean and his collaborators present a pseudo-naturalistic stress dream.

Rated: 2.5/4

TheWrap

A satisfying and prickly low-key hum of discontent and moral exploration. In Muntean's exhausted landscape, the world wont listen even when its stuck in frozen mud.

Elements of Madness

... "Întregalde" seeks to imbed the audience with the interpersonal conflict which drives the film. The issue is that, despite a clear desire to convey a sense of caring, of humanity, there’s no tension present to push the point through.

Rated: 2.5/5

It’s a pseudo horror movie about what happens when you’re stuck in the backwoods, but the real threats are your own preconceptions and underlying tensions with your s.o.

Espinof

It's a drama, a bourgeoise parody, a horror film, and a character study. None of the erratic and poorly connected elements end up dazzling us and ultimately leave us malcontent. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5
