Leave your thoughts about Tales from the Golden Age.
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineThis is a film that tells us about a place and time we can't identify with through characters we can't help but understand. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawThe dark laughter involved is Romania's way of staying sane, not merely at the time but, also, in a way, right now. Comedy is a way of looking back at the horror without the rage and despair becoming unendurable. |
| VarietyJay WeissbergThough Mungiu's presumed two shorts have the most individual feel, the other helmers -- Ioana Uricaru, Hanno Hoefer, Razvan Marculescu and Constantin Popescu, all feature novices -- show a plethora of styles within the so-called "Romanian New Wave." |
| Times (UK)Wendy IdeWhile this wry, sometimes poignant collection ultimately runs a little long, it serves as a useful introduction to the talent that makes Romania the place to look for exciting new voices in cinema. |
| Boston PhoenixGerald PearyAll the stories have their merits, celebrating a people amusingly out of step with their stalwart, demented leaders. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenThe strongest tales embrace a strain of barnyard humor that is matched by the robust performances of actors who convey an earthy jocularity. The movie doesn't shy away from comparing these hardy, weather-beaten rustics to their livestock. |
| Globe and MailLiam LaceyThough the threat of exposure and incarceration lurk behind every story, the characters' ingenuity and humour serve as impudent alternatives to authoritarian stupidity and brutality. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchThis is a low-key, deadpan movie and the jokes creep up on you. |
| Film4Tom DawsonShot with clarity and plenty of dry humour, this impressive collection of five short films is proof of the youthful vitality of the New Romanian Cinema. |
| Little White LiesMatt BochenskiWhat shines through is the proud spirit of the Romanian people, who found ways to endure in a system that veered unpredictably from the comically ineffective to the starkly insidious. |
