Patrascu finds himself at odds with two neighbors after he witnesses a domestic quarrel that ends up in murder.

Critics Consensus

With a slow drip of tension and measured minimalism, One Floor Below realistically examines the morality of an average man in Romania.

3/4

Mixes subtle politics and morality in an expert, if discomfiting, manner.

The key to appreciating "One Floor Below" is to keep in mind that it takes place in a country still troubled by its past.

7.5/10

Muntean's omissions are blanks for viewers to fill in as they see fit, not holes in the story.

2/5

Muntean offers some insight into the routine reality of this Romanian businessman, but ultimately the film sidesteps exploring the moral dilemma that at first seems to be its raison d'être.
