Beautifully shot with sparse dialogue and apparently based on a true story, it's a great film as long as you're ok without a happy ending.
Taking place in a small village in Hungary, there's some homophobia which could be triggering but then again that's the world we live in. It might not be pretty but life isn't always.
This isn't an American film so don't watch it if you're expecting one. Shots are long and there can be stretches where not much is said but the actors do a commendable job regardless. I would give it 7/10 but I had to deduct one for the ending. It was literally jaw dropping and left me feeling a let down. That being said, if you don't mind dark endings, then it's definitely worth a watch.

It has its enjoyable moments and some laughs but it's hardly up to par.
The biggest issue is it's too scattered/there's a lack of cohesion. It would have benefited from some streamlining - there are too many sketches per episode. Jumping around in time instead of going chronologically is weird. Also, it would have been better without trying to include modern references (not crazy about Anastasia live-streaming).
A nice effort but only rarely does it capture what we all love about classic Mel. If you go into it with an open mind though, without expecting it to be Part I, you might at least get a few laughs out of it.
