Child's Pose
aka Poziţia copilului
First screened in September 2013
Director: Călin Peter Netzer. Cast: Luminiţa Gheorghiu, Bogdan Dumitrache, Florin Zamfirescu, Ilinca Goia, Nataşa Raab, Adrian Titieni, Tania Popa, Mimi Brănescu, Vlad Ivanov. Screenplay: Răzvan Rădulescu and Călin Peter Netzer.

Twitter Capsule: Character and camera get a bit hyperbolic in potent, affecting, uneven tale. Works as melodrama or political fable.

VOR:   Not ready to call this redundant, but in plot and style it's often predictable even when it's accomplished. Is the Romanian wave ebbing?
