Hampered by pacing that borders on glacial, the performances infuse the story with lingering melancholy.

Top CriticNaturalistic performances, long takes, unfussy edits and a story that unfolds over a few hours are all present and correct.
01/16/09
Small but sharp and extremely well observed.
01/16/09
An impressive chamber piece by a director who needs watching.

Top CriticThis is a tough, shrewd, intelligent movie.
01/16/09
Top CriticThis is superior film-making, equally comfortable with the light (Boogie's obvious delight in his nipper and the realistic family dynamic) to the dark (his risibly macho deceipt with a jolly hooker).
01/16/09
It may not scale the heights of the best recent Romanian films (4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days, The Death Of Mr Lazarescu) but Boogie is still a bittersweet character study.
01/16/09
The film remains dour, truthful, grimly droll.
01/16/09
Superbly acted, sharply observed and impressively directed Romanian drama, though it drags a little in the early stages.
