It feels almost like a series of vignettes... I loved how tiny and specific each slice of life feels.

"Two Lottery Tickets" is an existential-absurdist, dirty-kitchen-sink vision of ordinary lives that's just funny and invigorating enough to hit a note of truth.

Negoescu... gives the film fresh zest with droll observations and pitifully endearing characters - all while poking meta fun at the austere Romanian New Wave movement he works within, and works to dismantle.

A wry social commentary in places. Mostly, though, Two Lottery Tickets has modest ambitions — to be, simply, an enjoyable comedy — a goal it surpasses thanks to its absurdist humor and pitch-perfect performances.

3.5/4

The comic ideas must come from the confines of that squared-off screen space -- and, indeed, the confines become a huge part of the comedy in at least a few set-ups.

A wry buddy comedy from rural Romania.

Some fellas are in desperate need of money. They struggle through their daily life, earning an honest living but they just never seem to have enough dough. They chip in for a lottery ticket and well - they win 6 million. The problem is that the ticket is stolen so they are up for a road trip to find it. It's lovely paced and has a great slow build up, the storytelling is great! Some jokes are OK, but it's never that funny. It's working out just fine and I have seen other Eastern European films within the same category that was straight up boring. I'm glad this one is not that bad. A bit easy to figure and few stand out scenes makes this OK entertainment. 6 out of 10 refrigerators.
