Why so much hype?

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
View MoreA film from Georgia who speaks directly to the heart of every (non fascist) human being. It is the story of two teenage girls and their friendship in a sexist and oppressive society. The main character, Eka, is so cool and so "right". She is the nice side of humanity.The movie is sad. Everybody knows: the good guys always loose and the bad guys always win. But it is a movie that says things, it is a movie as it should, it is a beautiful movie, and with an absolutely stunning scene: I won't write spoiler, just say this. It is a dance.
View MoreThe new Georgina film ''In bloom'' makes Deep impression onlooker, great performance by Lika Babluani and Mariam Bokeria, - a classic story about the transition to adulthood and its attendant difficulties, where the great camera work and acting of spaces were completely wiped out in the story, rather odd mounting solutions, and, most importantly, the only female view of the world.The film is full of tragic scenes, typical of the Georgina, ''in bloom'' - talking about everyday life, it is often very cruel to us, on the abnormal situation in the families of the strong friendship and mutual assistance, first love ... yes, of love, of course, he said. And again about his childhood.I think This film is actually In Top 5 made In Georgia During last 20-25 Year.
View MoreI do not agree with Nika Gigashvili. I think Georgia should not do international movies.I am in love with the country. And I am from Hungary. And we have similarities, after the socialist era collapsed.For me was quite enough, how they were speaking about the whole rape and stuff during marriage. Maybe 'cuz I am a girl. The ignorance is a very massive part of the film. And during my travel through the country I experienced the same. I mean the locals with each other, not with me. But situations were quite similar during my childhood. Except guns.I was a great movie. I watched it two weeks before and it is still keep me thinking.
View MoreThe story revolves around two 14 year old girls, best friends growing up together in Georgia.Although it's set in 1992, the time-line and history is merely a canvas for a tale of friendship and difficulties in a flawed culture and society. We witness the hardships the two girls have to go through and negative or positive emotional bonds they have with friends/schoolmates/family.There's not much dramatization or cheesy drama going on, since the narrative is documentary-style realism à-la "A Separation". I have to applaud the two young actresses for more-or-less carrying the whole story on their shoulders, with success. Not that the other actors are bad, they all contribute to the authentic atmosphere. It's also hard to ignore the setting, the homes and streets that reek of post communist decay. This felt personal to me, having grown up in an "fresh" democratic Romania, where the circumstances were similar, even if not the same.I can totally recommend "In Bloom" to anyone interested in a good story. This is no Hollywood moneymaker, but I also disagree with another reviewer writing that it's hard to understand for non-Georgians. Cinema is universal.
