Hmm, mai sunt ceva articole străine? Că din astea două, dacă eliminăm synopsisurile, cu bunăvoinţă, cam asta rămâne (sublinierile cu bold din texte îmi aparţin):

Film Reviews
First of All, Felicia -- Film Review
By Sheri Linden, November 06, 2009 08:51 ET

Bottom Line: Though overlong and repetitive, this family drama delivers subtle performances and emotional intensity.
….
Repetitive and overlong, this first-time directorial effort by Radulescu and Dutch newcomer Melissa de Raaf hasn't the tensile strength or daring of that earlier film. When it clicks, though, it's a penetrating look at what it means to be the adult child of aging parents, caught between two cultures.

Unfolding over the frustrating hours of Felicia's struggle to make a flight, the film, which received its North American premiere at the AFI Fest, is sure to get mileage on the festival circuit. Judicious cuts could ease its way to international art-house action.
…..
But as it progresses, the film depends too much on explanatory dialogue and self-evident observations. Felicia's big meltdown, as moving as Oancea and the silent, reacting Cernat make it, arrives with a predictability that's the most conventional thing about the movie. At its best, this meticulously choreographed work, devoid of improvisation, is alive with everyday anguish.

O mostră de măiestrie analitică: “Felicia (Ozana Oancea) rises from the couch-turned-bed, an indeterminate character -- she might be 25 or 35. It turns out she's 40,…”

First of All, Felicia
Facing one's past

A promising debut feature co-directed by an Irish filmmaker and Romanian screenwriter, which won the Cineuropa Award at the 2009 Estoril Festival
(Irish filmmaker?)

by Elisa Cimino

In an era of young people’s mobility and immigration not always determined by financial difficulties but by the constructive desire to experiment a life lived elsewhere, Felicia is more than timely.

Cam atât!

Mai ilustrez printr-un paragraph inteligenţa şi subtilitatea cronicii:

"Like the directors, Felicia’s life is also divided between the Netherlands and Romania. She emigrated in 1989 from Bucharest to Amsterdam, works in a library, is divorced from Marteen and is the mother of 11-year-old Marc."

Marteen, sigur nu Maarten? Şi ce vrea să spună cu “Like the directors”? Răzvan Rădulescu is also divided between the Netherlands and Romania?

Haideţi să aflăm câte ceva despre autoarea articolului, să vedem cam ce legătură are Elisa Cimino cu cinemaul :

Oricum citesc cele două articolaşe, nu-mi par la fel de elogioase ca părerile unor cronicari românaşi. Cele două sunt narative, dar "pozitive" mi se pare mult spus.
