Reunion (2019) User Reviews

Beautiful, entertaining and funny...

[scarlatov · 7/10 · 21 October 2019]

Watching the trailer one would expect a fairly standard story line, however reality truly surpasses expectations. The script goes deep into human relationships while keeping you laughing and entertained all the way with authentic situations and sophisticated humor. The viewer can easily relate with the characters and the situations they fall into. Dialogues are funny and vocalize many emotions and feelings people think but do not usually express out loud, which is both touching and entertaining. All this leads to a truly surprising and provoking finale, that leaves you involved long after the movie has ended. In nutshell.... It is rare to watch a meaningful though funny movie these days, i enjoyed every minute of it.

Funny, Lightweight and enthusiastic!

A light movie, "funnier" is the most common thing people say. The audience adores the actors. Beautiful and Sympathical! The comedy is on point.

The best review you'll hear a Bulgarian making for a native movie is " It's wachable".

The music is spectacular! Even the melodies a perfect musical arrangement in combination with Orlin Pavlov takes the top off!.

Hearing the actors say: "since I'm not ashamed after watching myself I can say I did a good job" is the best way to tell that you'll stay with a warm hart after watching this movie.

Please avoid this film - it's sexist and kinda offensive!

I saw this film just now. It's an absolute hot mess! The script is very weak story wise. There are many instances where the characters act in completely bizarre ways without any explanation whatsoever. The motivations of the characters remain unclear throughout the film! As a result the film feels quite incoherent and the main characters are actually quite dislikable. The film is very sexist and offensive with its "jokes". There was even one scene, which still perplexes me, because I am genuinely not sure if one of the main characters threatened a female character with rape...I did not find this funny. And since we're on the topic of female characters: completely void of any personality or agency. They are only there to be pretty and provide some reason for the main male characters to be where they are at certain times. There was perhaps one exception, but unfortunately this character was in very few scenes. She actually had the best and most reasonable lines in the film. Acting: a glimpse of competence here and there, but all in all - not good. Direction: NO! I think the director has seen too many bad American films and took all the wrong lessons. Cinematography: I really did not like the camera angles and the way the camera panned really close to the actors faces at times. It just created a sense of drama where there was no need. Editing: So, as I already mentioned the film came across as very incoherent. A collection of scenes that seem disconnected from each other. I'm sure whose fault it was...Perhaps the director had more to do with this than that poor editor..There was one particularly bizarre editing choice which only happened once which seemed very out of place. Sound: Bulgarians cannot do good sound mixing. Period. Music: Overly dramatic and totally annoying at times. I felt like I was watching a 90's high school movie at times! Tone it down, people! Okay, so this review is already too long and probably no one will read it, but I needed to get this out! All this being said: making films is very hard and requires an extraordinary high level of competence. And to make it work as a whole is an enormous challenge and honestly I think I wouldn't have been so angry at this film if it weren't to the downright sexist and pretty offensive script. So there you have it. I hope someone reads this and finds this helpful. Have a good day!

I LIKE IT!

The film is unique, quite good on the editing side, the mode and as such in the shooting process. The actors play their roles very well.

Don't waste your time with this moovie

[atanassovadenitsa · 3/10 · 27 October 2019]

The main story is good but I didn't like the dialogues especially with Lora, also didnt like the the acting except Bashar Rahal. There was some controvertial things for me - why Alex didn't excused to Branko for cheating with his wife, why he didn't excused to his friends for not telling the truth at the begining? Too many adverts.

Love it!

A wonderful movie! One of the best Bulgarian films in the last 20 years. A movie you will want to watch several times, infects you with its charm. Positive showing beautiful Plovdiv!

Awful

[radkovgeorge · 1/10 · 4 June 2021]

Terrible movie. The most unprofessionally and inconsistently shot film. Shame on the otherwise good selection of the cast.

Nostalgic

[preskosemov · 10/10 · 16 January 2021]

I like it a lot.

It has that vibe, when you go back to your home town and see your old friends and how yours and their life has progressed, you remember your missed opportunities and find lost friendships. Some people even find themselves meeting their old crush and even and marry them.

Great work of Bashar and Niki, they should work together more often.

Awesome movie

[gerganakostova · 10/10 · 21 June 2021]

Maybe the best movie that Niki has filmed! I likef it a lot as well as I laughed a lot, really great story with this unexpected moment... Great job to the whole cast and crew! You have to watch it.
