Why so many people love this movie, I'll never understand. To me this is just an exploitation film (and I do use the term loosely) that plays on the sensitivities of mostly foreign movie 'connoisseurs' that think sordid, bleak stories set in unfamiliar, but 'harshly realistic' locations is somehow synonymous with great cinematography. It's not 'realism' and it's not great, it's just giving your audience what they expect and want to see. I ain't jumping on this bandwagon.

With the hyperrealisme-genre it's sometimes possible that the photography isn't in balance with the plot/story. And 4/3/2 is also a victim om that fault. The photography is genuine, a punch in the face of communist rumania and just beautiful in every detail. But the plot is too small and too thin to fill an entire 113min. Some scenes are, even for this genre, too long. After a while you get the message of streching a scene just a bit longer as usual. In my opinion not a worthy Cannes laureate

It's all in the details. It's all in the meticulously framed long takes - the tableau style - that really show the pain, uncertainty and despondency of the hopelessly absurd, the downright impossible situation that these two women, as well as the society as a whole, find themselves in. At once artfully poetic and emotionally raw.

Intense and uncompromising. Harsh realism without any type of sugarcoating. The subject matter is unsettling to start with, and the way its so blunt with it just makes it harder to stomach. Theres no music to set a mood, no quick camera cuts, the tension is derived completely from the situation, the dialogue and the acting. In fact, the camera keeps the same shots for a long time throughout the movie. Not exactly fun to watch but impossible to take your eyes off of.

A film as oppressive as the society it condemns. Deeply upsetting but never manipulative or overwrought. The horrific situation is presented realistically; it doesn't preach and it never simplifies. Instead, it opts to analyze its complex themes with subtlety and intelligence. Adding to the film's power are some outstanding, naturalistic performances and a number of unbearably distressing tracking shots and long takes. It's amazing. Probably the greatest film of the decade.

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days is horrific, nerve-wracking, harrowing, but beautifully resists the temptation to cross over to sensationalistic or gratuitously tragic. It raises a myriad of difficult moral, social and political questions, but never pretends to solve them. Its power lies in the script's positively exceptional naturalism. It never once tries to ethically "guide" you out of the awful predicament it portrays, not even a nudge. It just leaves you drained and outraged.

Bleak, slow-paced and dealing with illegal abortions, this could easily have been yet another "I can't believe how horrible (and brown) life was behind the iron curtain" movie, but it is so well written, directed and acted that the human drama remains in the center and stays both relevant, moving and particularly gripping as the heroine proves, that she is the best friend in the world...

Second time watching this, and it's damned good. The dinner scene still stands out as the best part of the film. The boyfriend's parents and their friends are talking about how tough it was in the old days, and segue seamlessly into talking about how much milk they put in their mashed potatoes. It's so good, and it makes me want to scream. There's something resonant there about the well-to-do middle class just dismissing real poverty and real systemic squalor by exclaiming "kids these days!"

Christ, what an unremittingly, relentlessly bleak experience. A story that really needs to be told---Ceausescu's ultra-natalist policies were an abomination---and a story well told, but not one I can imagine wanting to sit through again. It's every bit as agonizing as I'm sure it was designed to be.

An extremely tense story. The film is really gripping, with a sense of dread around every corner, helped by the minimalist style. The cinematography is mostly handheld, documentary-style, and there's no music whatsoever, all of which puts you right in the moment with the feeling the anything can happen, and the worst probably will. Stark and unsettling.

Shot with lengthy, unflinching camera shots, watching this made me feel as if I was witnessing the events directly, rather than through a movie. And that's exactly what makes it so effective: we are seeing an event that seems so un-fabricated (due also in part to the great acting) that it conjures deep feelings with very little provocation. The events in this film happen ALL THE TIME in this world, but sometimes it takes actually seeing them for them to seem as sickening as they should.

It was a subtle yet quite powerful film. The film used lots of long shots, spanning several minutes. Luckily, the actors and the script were up to this challenge. I thought it was really good overall. It had a really hyper-real feel to it, which I liked a lot. Recommended.

It's one thing to read about the history of the abominable Ceausescu era of Romania; it's another thing to have those horrors manifested in a powerful work of cinéma vérité. As small as its story is, the setting is fully realized in every facet, from the harrowing oppression by bureaucracy to class struggle; everything adds up to a sum of pure desperation. Even with its impressive master shots, the flow is never halted with aims for awe; as trite as I feel it is to say, this film feels real.

A relentlessly bleak film of bleakness. You'll have just about as much fun shooting yourself in the foot. That being said, it is spectacularly filmed and does a fascinating job of depicting realism. Though it will make you feel cold and empty inside (not a complaint) Cristian Mungiu respectfully knows how to make its haunting moments less unbearable without losing effect. Unforgettable and amazing, but I probably will never watch it again.

Popped my Romanian film cherry today, I've had better. The acting is so staged and stilted it totally takes you out of the film. We get it, you went to acting school. Also, I thought the abortionists motivations for doing the abortion was a wild stretch. A possible 10 years in prison to bang a stranger? lol. But it has a touchy subject and is about communism and it shows a dead fetus so you have to say you like it despite it being a boring pretentious piece of shit. HORRIBLE ending

Excellent use of the camera throughout. Mingiu's refusal to cut away at various points, instead either following or keeping the camera focused on his principles, really serves to build the tension and dread effectively. We cannot help but feel what a terrible situation these girls find themselves in.

Wonderfully understated but undeniably powerful, "4 luni, 3 saptamani si 2 zile" is a poignant as well as impartial and provocative examination of a complex subject matter. Mungiu's impressive visual style (comprised mostly by extremely long takes), his strong writing and, perhaps above all, the superb performances (Marinca and Ivanov in particular) help to compose a film that is simultaneously realistic, challenging, difficult to watch but irresistible all the same.

This is a gut-wrenching, spine-chilling story. Close to my 40s, I'm not keen on this kind of bleak stuff anymore. That said, the dramatic twists and turns taken in this movie are excellent. Mr. Bebe is such a nuanced villain. Even the poster is brilliant; how much evil can you fit in such an innocent setting? A lot. The movie brought out very strong emotions from me; for example, I deeply hated Gabrieala character. Stupidity and being clueless can be much worse than intentional malevolence.

Spare, efficient drama and (somewhat) horror movie masterfully weaves trenchant, hot-button social and political observations into its tale of a problem that needs to be solved – politically minded film-makers would do well to take notes from this; while it’s never in doubt what Mungiu’s view is on the situation, he first tells a compelling, fair-minded story of heartless bureaucracy; aided by empathetic performances by Marinca and Vasiliu, plus a quietly stomach churning one from Ivanov.

Once again, a non-horror film proves to be way more horrifying and intense than the usual horror film. I had a really uneasy feeling throughout certain sections of this film, mainly in my lower region. The only big flaw in this film is that they shouldn't have shown it -- it just seemed inappropriate and it didn't look as gross or heart-stopping as they do (it looked like a piece of sweet and sour pork and it just made me hungry).

It starts off well but doesn't really come into its own until about 40 minutes in. From there on the entire film is a tense harrowing experience though it never pushes it too far. The film manages to expose a lot of uncomfortable subjects yet does so subtly, relying on the viewer making connections rather than on shock value. The performances, as well as the direction, are understated but very effective.

A bleak and tense drama that perfectly captures the pain and torment of oppression without showing any actual oppression. Mungiu's direction - a series of uncomfortably long, unflinching takes that seemingly stretch on forever - lends this action-less film the suspense of a great thriller. A brutal and difficult watch, but highly rewarding just the same.

A deep and touching time travel to 80's Communist system. It's also a brutal story how lonely and beaten women are with unwanted pregnancy. The sound track has been build carefully as was the chilling camera work. Director laid wisely on strong acting skills with skillful actors and main leads. More you know about the Communist mentality more you get from this film. Has the guilt of women changed much in modern times?

Quiet yet brash at the same time; 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days is the intense account of two girls partaking in an abortion in an illegal state. The characters are poised with more realism than most other movies and it makes for an uncomprimising movie that will instill emotion in even the most hard-hearted people. Very gripping and highly recommendable, it's no surprise it won the Palm d'Or at the Cannes festival last year.

I have to disagree with the blurb saying this movie is about 'brutal Securitate methods'. The Securitate does not 'feature' in the movie. It's about two students girls having to live in a corrupt and policed society, specifically what they have to go through to arrange an abortion for one of them. It paints a grim picture of human nature and city life under the communist regime.

Though I don't always like extremely slow rhythms, I have to recognize that in this particular case I loved it, and more than that, I found it necessary.

I wish I could agree with the majority of posters here, but I just couldn't shake the look-what-I-learned-in-film-school vibe of far-too-long takes and a very wobbly camera. The acting was very good, though, and there's a lot of subtle commentary about "the past" in this Communist country. I know I wouldn't have done even half the things best friend Otilia does; maybe that's why I spend most of my weekends watching films alone.

Haunting, cold and uncomfortable. The realistic approach and long takes make some scenes difficult to watch, even though the worst moments happen offscreen and the harshest implications are left to the viewer. Not something you watch for a good ol' time, that's for sure.

This movie made me feel lucky that I only lived for 5 years in communism. But the story of Otilia was lived by so many women including my mom and it's simply heart-breaking. The tension is expertly delivered. I could hardly breathe through most of the movie.

Good stuff, I had no idea going in to it what it was about. And the first 20-30mins didn't really give it away for me. As soon as the word "termination" was mentioned the film changed in to an intense, nerve-wracking look at the way an abortion was handled in 80's Romania. Terrifying but a great film.

"Shot in long takes, the film features a gut-wrenching performance by Marinca as the selfless friend who somehow keeps a lid on her battered spirit. Winner of this year's Palme d'Or at Cannes, 4 Months is a harrowing tale that will stay with you."

Mina förväntningar var väldigt höga, det sker inte ofta att en film på biorepertoiren har en femma som rekommenderat värde. Mycket är också bra. Jag reste lite i östeuropa före murens fall och här känner man igen mycket: En väldig fixering vid att "fixa" och byta varor, smutsiga och mörka bostadsområden, nedslitna kommunikationsmedel, personal på hotell och restauranger som inte var det minsta engagerade i sitt jobb etc ... Och en allmän känsla av tristess och klaustrofobi. Dä

Well, the movie held my attention throughout its length. It is one of those movies that does not tend to show a hell lot and confines itself to the main plot with an admirable result. Nothing in the movie feels over the top. It was a good watch...

Absolutely stunning, though absolutely excrutiating to watch. The telephone scene at the dinner party is the stuff dreams (or nightmares) are made of.

When a Romanian film is as obtuse as 4,3,2, it feels like a countdown to cinema's termination.

A thought provoking film with a quite distinctive filming style- Long takes and static framing. A film about Romania, about abortion but also about friendship. Terribly bleak.

Hmm... not as good as I had hoped. It's good to learn about the treatment of women in Eastern Europe, but the movie doesn't 'flow'. It seems too slow and too empty.

A gripping and breathtaking plunge. Heartstopping look at two women who attempt to get an illegal abortion. Unflinching in its details, this is a film everyone should see and got robbed at the Oscars, not even being nominated for best foreign film.

A movie about 2 girls and illegal abortion in Romenia. Scenarios are so realistic with poverty and black market around.
