Winner of the Palme d'Or in 2007. Two dorm roommates in 1987 Romania struggle to get an illegal abortion for one of them. This felt more like witnessing reality than watching a movie. Tension throughout. I recommend this one.

A haunting film with impressive, real performances and dialogue.

The stationary camerawork allows you to focus on the performances. Deserving of all its praise.

The acting here is pretty believable and downright impressive thirty minutes into the film; each character is complex because all of them are flawed.
