Manu M May 28 Well first of all it's not a movie maybe it is but only when you push the record button and forget to stop recording... The only reason i'm here writing the minimum words i can type is because maybe i could save someone's 7 hours of life which is more valuable that you waste it with this title and trust me sleep instead No art no messages no philosophy no nothing If some critics like these kinds of recordings i can be sure they are sick and maybe masochist Well i hope people who are not satisfied of anything don't start entering cinema and film industry See more Agnes E Apr 21 This epic immerses you into a quintessentially Hungarian melancholic state of mind. (if you let it) Mesmerising, crushing, satirical and at times funny journey with Tarr Béla as your travel companion. See more Simon T 02/23/2024 Why do I prefer Bela Tarr's movies to anything by Tarkovsky? For all his stylistic quirks - the long takes, the relentless rain and mud, the grinding poverty of his characters - there is always a humanity beneath the surface, an understanding of human frailty. In this massive 7-hour epic he gives us a community who have lost their purpose and now drown their sadness in drink and wild dancing, failing to notice that one of their children has poisoned her pet cat and taken her own life. This in turn leads to a returning villager exploiting their grief and running off with all their money. You do have to surrender to the slow pacing of all Bela Tarr's films - I must admit that I found the final section testing - but they are endlessly rewarding and very different to anything you'll have seen before. And very beautiful too. See more Sean H 12/21/2023 This movie is like a 7 and a half hour of a constipated person trying to have a bowel movement. It's a disgust to any Hungarian who suffered the horrors of communism!!!! Shame on the reviewers!!!! See more J.J. L 11/15/2023 I found a way to watch this film and not feel like I wasted time. I type this review while looking at it, I check email and surf my social media feed. I play solitaire. Try to do that at a cinema for 7 hours... See more 11/02/2022 I just lost a day forcing myself to watch this. There was a lot of fast forward going on but still it's a tedious waste of time. I only watched because it makes so many top 100 lists so it piqued my interest but jeez even by Béla Tarr standards this is self indulgent. See more Read all reviews
