This is an exceptional achievement. Even though the subject is potent enough for the director to make a good film, it is the way he handles this tricky subject is what is so pleasing. There couldn't have been a better film to start off my Romanian film-watching. Spectacular and grand will not be adjectives reserved for this, maybe not even breath-taking. But it is purposeful and remarkably convincing as a social comment. The acting had to be mandatorily inch-perfect, and it is. There are no glossing-over unnecessary trivia, and unlike the rude quack hired by the two girls, this film delivers. I read somewhere that Death of Dr. Lazarescu and East of Bucharest are better than this. If they are, then they must be some films.
