I watched it because of Cristian Mungiu's work

I watched it because of Cristian Mungiu's work: after seeing Malina in Graduation where I found her part a bit dull, I was very surprised by her gripping performance in Lemonade. This movie will offer you no humour or funny moments - a glimpse of their smiles at one point will come as a surprise; it's a pure drama, it's cutting, hurtful and powerful because it holds such a raw truth. The lengths at which one can go for the sake of one's child. The pursuit for something better whatever that may be.

With Ioana Uricaru's Lemonade, the highly appreciated Romanian

With Ioana Uricaru's Lemonade, the highly appreciated Romanian New Wave has reached two important milestones: First of all, it benefitted from the lens of a woman who directed a female protagonist with grace and grit, turning her character into a believable one and her story into a painfully relevant one. Second of all, it crossed not only Romania' borders, but also the ocean. It moved all the unique values and neo-realistic features of the Romanian New Wave to America, a land not so used to such filmmaking. The story follows Mara (masterfully played by Mălina Manovici). She moved to the States, married a local, honest man and is waiting for her son to come live with her. She's gracious, but a blue collar worker, somehow just as hardened by life as she is delicate in her demeanor. The film throws an unfiltered glare at the dark side of immigration. At some point the film's command becomes predictable. This only slightly alleviates the punchline, but it does not blunt Uricaru's directorial edge, not in the least. Much can still be said about this film. That it is biased in its political views, that the villains are excruciatingly one sided or that it's unnecessarily depressing. All of the above may or may not be true, depending on the judge, but one cannot take away it undoubtable qualities: a great lead actress, razor sharp social discussion (though the razor only has one edge) and plenty of memorable lines of dialogue. I'll finish by stating that Lemonade has one of the best and most clever titles that I've seen in a while.
