“Weu0026#39;ve seen the trailer of this movie and said u0026quot;no wayu0026quot;. A friend told us to watch it anyway, so we tried.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is completely unlike its trailer. Itu0026#39;s good. What I expect from a drama: contains sad moments, happy moments, jokes and deep thoughts; it was not a completely dark, depressing movie at all. It is understandable why they didnu0026#39;t force the fact that this movie u0026quot;is about the love life a blind personu0026quot;, because in reality it was not really, and I acknowledge that it would be very hard to make a trailer which could suggest the overall feeling of the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe chronology is interesting, as we gradually get to know what already have happened, and it is rarely distracting. The acting is good (with lots of good supporting characters), the characters all felt real, but not overacted and exaggerated, as most of todays Hungarian movies do. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis one was well above the other Hungarian releases of nowadays, free of mindless jokes and funny acting but still not being overly heavy and depressing. (And maybe the best thing was about it the lack of the popcorn-munching people, so I suppose the movie is not for those people expecting an average Saturday evening light waste of time.)”
