Treasure

What could go wrong on a mother daughter road trip finding your roots in Poland? Such a creative, warm, moving film. Very touching and powerful.

Tragicomedy is the perfect summary. Such important themes relevant today yet so beautifully shot and so charming: I laughed and cried.

Stunning film. Loved the character development and the cinematography. Lena Dunham and stephen fry are fabulous actors.

Até aumentou minha estima por "A real pain". Há um esforço muito grande dos atores aqui em não tornar tudo a perder, frente à péssima construção das situações, caricaturais ao extremo, com direito até mesmo a piadas gordofóbicas, etarismo, personagens secundários maniqueístas.... E olha que é baseado em fatos reais!!! Segue a mesma lógica do filme do Jesse Eisenberg mas sem sua sensibilidade, e ainda tem protagonistas irritantes demais (da água para o vinho, vão melhorando no decorrer do longa, mas o estrago já está feito). Até mesmo a Polônia é filmada com muito desleixo. Mexer com um tema de memórias de guerra com eficiência é para poucos.

Lena Dunham plays a journalist who meets her father (Stephen Fry) in Poland to visit the places where was a child. His plans for the trip clash with her expectations, which is supposed to add humorous conflict, but doesn't. There's plenty of strife in their relationship, but none of it is remotely funny. Dunham's character is rather obnoxious and callous, while Fry trades in oversize charm. The dialogue is seldom special and most of the situations are rather bland. While their chemistry is OK, it's only the final few minutes where the inevitable reconciliation occurs and by then, who cares? NOTE: The fact that there's only one publicity foto from the distributor says they didn't think much of it either.
