Good movie about Soviet Estonia orphanage

[gunnu88 · 10/10 · 17 August 2012]

I wanted to write a recommandation here. Naerata ometi (1985) is one of better films about children with problems or/and bad fate. It is technically simple but deeply believable movie. Although themes like alcoholism , bullying, suicide are depressing movie has its humanism and hope for better tomorrow. This is my first review here and i chose this not famous movie to recommend. Other movies i like have a lot of good reviews (movies from Fellini, Chaplin, Satiyait Ray , Kubrick, Renoir and others).

My vote is 10

Ps Movie is hard to find but it is in youtube Sorry for bad English and all the best

good movie

Actors are strange and not very beautiful, but they make it more interesting. In this movie there are some sentences what you will remember, although they don`t speak very much. I liked that part when the main character Mari played with her younger friends. She said that they have to wait outside while she is turning into a shoe. She left an old boot for them and left the room. When girls came back, they thought that that boot was Mari..

this movie is good but not the best.

Well my first review and it's from my country Estonia. Lets get started. This movie is sort of a documentary threw the eyes of the character and we make our own explanation in the end because the movie ends on a cliff hanger ( not the Silvester Stallone movie ). so yeah i liked it it was depressing as are almost every Estonia movie. spoilers ahoy ! It talks about a teen aged girl hows mother has died and his fatter doesn't want her around , so she lives in a orphanage . ..... of course. but she hates her orphanage life, because the others are mean and hateful so as the other reviewers say-ed its a good story but i need to stop spoiling the movie because you really have to see it. strong parts : sad moments , funny moments , leaves you with a good feeling. weak parts : this might not interest boys like me but i liked the movie ( because it reminded me of sleep a way camp ) ether way . So good movie i give it lets say .... 9 that seems fair.
