2007 Palme d’Or winner is riveting. We follow two Romanian college students Gabita and Otilia over a 24 hour period. When Gabita discovers she’s pregnant the roommates set out on a chilling quest for an illegal abortion. Utilizing long takes and featuring an incredible performance from Anamaria Marinca (Otilia) as she’s doing literally everything she can to help her friend through this situation. I found it incredibly powerful to view this film through the gaze of Otilia rather than Gabita. Though it’s clear Otilia is upset with many of the decisions that Gabita makes along the way, Otilia perseveres because she realizes just how easily she it could have been in the same situation and/or find herself there in the future. It’s bleak and depressing and all too relevant in the US all these years later. It’s a harrowing film that can be very difficult to watch at times very similar to Happening (which I also watched very recently). But I highly recommend checking both out.
Film Comment Magazine
Kristin M. Jones
[Christian] Mungiu has taken a leap forward into bold, focused storytelling.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Cristian Mungiu's masterful chronicle is impressive above all for the way it respects the audience, expecting them to follow the implications of its multifaceted tale without always spelling them out.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Rosenblatt
Virtuosic, assured, and possessed of undeniable aesthetic force, it's also hard not to turn away from.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Observes with ruthless, artful precision. While plunging a knife through your soul.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
The film emerges as a devastating personal drama, a suspenseful horror story and a powerful statement about life under a repressive regime.
The Deadbolt
Brian Tallerico
It's daring, challenging, and hard to take, but it's a story that should be told and very few filmmakers could have possibly told it this well.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A powerful film and a stark visual accomplishment.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
This is a beautiful film about ugly circumstances, set in 1987 near the end of the Ceausescu era in communist Romania.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The absolute clarity of the storytelling, the aching authenticity of the performances make for a film that will stay with you for at least as long as the period alluded to in its title. It might stay with you forever.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
There's fascination in these still little dramas that feel more like voyeurism than cinema.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
It may seem perverse to contend that a movie with such a harrowing subject is nevertheless revivifying. But the New Wave of Romanian cinema is the most exciting in the world right now. 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days is its latest masterpiece.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Writer-director Cristian Mungiu confirms the Romanian cinema renaissance while creating a paradoxical marvel: a bleak tale of illegal abortion that powerfully affirms one's faith in people.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
First, this movie should be enjoyed. Later, marveled at. And then, once the excitement has faded, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days really should be studied, because director Cristian Mungiu creates scenes unlike any ever filmed.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Features impressive performances by the three main characters and powerful naturalistic cinematography.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The winner of the 2007 Palme d'Or at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, the movie is an instant classic, watching it as kinetically withering an experience as anything I any I've ever experienced.
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 days feels like a kind of appendix -- and a bursting one at that -- to Krzysztof Kieslowski's Decalogue.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
For film connoisseurs who are interested in how far the medium can go in depicting human stories with realism at its most confrontational and even discomfiting, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days will provide a bracing breath of fresh cinematic air.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
Oleg Mutu's deft handheld camerawork and Mungiu's meticulous reconstruction of Ceausescu-era Romania, in all its corruption, hypocrisy and drab cleanliness, create an overweening atmosphere of dread.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Cristian Mungiu's elegantly crafted, brilliantly acted film, set in Bucharest in the late 1980s, near the end of the vile Ceausescu regime, needs special help in finding the audience it deserves.
