Metronom (2022)
6/10
Good plot, interesting story, 1 unreasonable scene.

The sequel of events is interesting but there is a scene that ruins the whole movie with it's exaggeration. It's true that the Security Police (Securitate) was trying to keep the current communist regime in power with methods of terrorizing and making people denounce one, another. That's why they were paid. But the scene in which a teenager is asking for a phone call and in return he is hit by a "securitate" officer with the telephone in the headin the face of all his colleagues is really unrealistic. Yes they would've threaten and verbally harras you. But that would've been basically all in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Especially to some youngsters that were sending letters to the Europa Libera Radio Station. Violence was really unnecessary and even counterproductive. Also for a virgin as Ana is. To make sex with the boy she likes in the daytime, with his mother inside the house and leaving afterwards is also unrealistic and without any point. I feel like the movie could've been better but beating this dead horse with the Securitate and communist regime ruined it a lot.
