The Whistlers (2019)
7/10
Enjoyable but could have been better
2 January 2023
This was quite an enjoyable movie overall, with ups and downs. It is structured on short stories each focusing on a major character, something in the style of Quentin Tarantino. But unlike Tarantino there is significantly less dialog. The acting is good, in general, although I found Cristi's character a bit too inexpressive. The movie suffers, however, of some Romanian cliches: the mandatory, explicit, sex scene and the constant smoking. But at least there was no cursing, which was something unexpected.

The lowest point of the movie, for me, was the Magda character, who's role I didn't quite understood. What is she doing? I think they could have explained that better. As for the end, it was kinda rushed and superficial.

But overall, it worth watching.
