nefasto r I was expecting better from "Everybody in our Family", especially because from the same director I really loved "Aferim" and the trailer seemed cool. At the end the dark comedy wasn't really comedy, more like an exercise in escalation, and and effort in filming in a small, cramped flat. Not bad but not particularly good either. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I have not seen a Romanian movie for a while and good to be back with a good drama that partially filled with the dark humour. This family movie is about a father, Marius and his ex-wife, Otilia and her new husband, Aurel and his stepdaughter, Sofia. The movie determines the story of a family about a particular matter which varies the opinion from each others. Except the opening few minutes the remaining of the story takes place inside a house before it concludes. The story is simple as that a divorced man goes to pick his daughter for the holiday. He wanted to go to the beach with her, but what he encounters is the resistance by the stepfather. Everything begins to be a complicate around and puts into the verbal war between them before violence takes its part. Can it be solved? but how is the remaining portion explained. ''A Japanese haiku says: Without a beloved child, there is no truth in cherry blossom'' A satisfying story with the interesting characters. A fictional story, but very much true in nature that resemble the real incidents of the divorced families around the world. Most of the couple separates because of the different ideology after the marriage. When it comes to matters of their children it won't vary much, they have to fight for the rights to provide what's best for the kids. That is what this story describes the family's difficulties which drags their children as well into such an awful affairs. Might not have a valuable message in it, but the most essential thematic content movie for the present society. A story that provides to study about the characters. Families should watch this. This movie is also can be watched for entertainment purpose. Overall, a better movie than I expected something like the movie 'Death at a Funeral'. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Family issues in a volcanic context: too many people, deep hurting problems and a small place. Great movie thanks to the actors´performances and the director´s work. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A typical Romanian movie, one among the many in the same vein, in which no message can be transmitted without yelling, cursing and violence. This is not the Balkan spirit, it is rather a badly understood way of making cinema. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
