Powerful

Best movie ever!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

After seeing this movie, I think the only ones that will be possibly impressed by it, either very negatively or very positively will be only the Hungarians. While the movie tries to be some publicity stunt for the cheapest travel destinations in the grim, ex-communist Eastern Europe, it may also enrage its inhabitants with the story line. Perhaps the movie budget should have been split in two movies: one with a pair of old people enjoying the cheap dull food there, the other with the anti-Christian theme it's about. And then perhaps two different target groups could have been touched. I just shrugged and moved on, definitely not a topic for the rest of us.

This movie as a Hungarian makes me a little bit nervous from the begging , the writer represent the country like it was in 1980-1990, I think the contrast about the reality and the presented Hungary is so big. Why I say this is a pure art movie: There is no chained explained story line, the script always blowing bubbles and they just "levitate" away. I think if it would not be advertise I would not watch it as Hungarian art movies are not touching my soul. I could see the presented contrast and puritan environment highlight out huge social problems, I think sometimes bit drastically , you will see episodes, which make no sense to this "minimal" story line, but blowing huge balloons blown. I guess more than 50% of this movie is pure critics about the humanity, and compare global issues with personal problems, and sometimes the personal problem grows global. I am not sure if I could understand the whole movie, as it need a lot focus, and as it has no linear easy story line, but I think no one will as you can't find something, which is not in the movie:).As a Hungarian I suggest it everyone who a little bit interested in drama, it will not move you closer to my country, but there are couple episodes of the movie, which will bind you to the monitor. I am rating the best parts of the movie, not the majority, 8 rating is the max in the movie, average i would rate it 5, from Hungarian movie industry it is the best movie in the last 2-3 years!

Well, this is a strange one: it seems to be part sci-fi fantasy, part religious allegory and part political polemic about the treatment of refugees.Syrian refugee Aryan (played by Zsombor Jéger, who is not Syrian but Hungarian) is shot by police officer László (György Cserhalmi) while trying to illegally enter Hungary. But instead of dying he levitates. Winding up in a refugee camp, his 'super-power' is discovered by doctor Gabor (Merab Ninidze, currently appearing in the BBC's 'McMafia'). At first, Gabor sees Aryan chiefly as an opportunity to get cash from the religiously gullible, but gradually he grows to sympathise with the boy's plight and resolves to help him search for his missing father. But grizzled cop László is determined to stay on their trail, particularly when Aryan is implicated in a terrorist atrocity.It is difficult to tell how well the Hungarian Jéger plays a Syrian, but he makes a sympathetic enough hero. Cserhalmi is appropriately focused as the obsessive László, determined to track down the illegal immigrant - or is he an angel? It is Ninidze who is on-screen the most, and his world-weary manner and hang-dog looks are perfect for the part of sleazy, disgraced Gabor (although curiously, in the cast list another actor is listed as 'voice of Gabor Stern').Given their importance to the plot, the levitation scenes are at times carelessly-staged - it is often obvious that Jéger is on wires and, considering how high Aryan levitates, it is remarkable that his hair stays in place even when gusts of wind are heard on the soundtrack. And is the viewer really supposed to believe that - final scene aside - when Aryan levitates over city streets only one or two people notice him? But flaws aside, this film has interesting characters and is packed to bursting with story.

Part of SFF late arrivals from Cannes. Think Botticelli by Tarrantino. You'll suspend your disbelieve and fly away with this story or never really get it. I happily went along with the angel as I watched the desperation of people to get outcomes and believe in a God. The camera work, direction, acting are all write capable. Timely film when we see what has happened since the west decided to sort the middle east out. Hungary took a particularly strong potion on this and the film may be making a point, but there are so many angles in this story. Strap your seat belt on and enjoy the ride.
