Ida regénye (2022 TV Movie) User Reviews

Well written

[abington-98669 · 8/10 · 26 December 2023]

I liked the story line, well acted. Only problem I had is that the subtitles were written faster than when they spoke, you have to wait for them speaking to catch up and had both their lines in one text box, couldn't tell whose line was whose. In the case of the housekeeper there weren't any subtitles at all so I had no idea what she was saying. Otherwise, I enjoyed it. The costumes, hair and period furniture were beautiful. The picnic scene was like something out of a Claude Manet painting. You'll get a real feel for the period due to the architecture and scenery selections. Beautifully photographed movie.

Best romance movie in years

[ancsinszka · 10/10 · 2 June 2023]

It has a really nice amtosphere, great directing and there is a lot of chemistry between the main charachters. The "from hate to love" story itself never gets old and it still has accuracy for the 21th century, even though the original novel was written a hundred years ago. The movie has good dramaturgy, the romance is well build up and we can see step by step the path that brings the two main characters together. So all together it is really enjoyable, fun and heartwarming movie, the actors doing their best, everything is well made in it. I highly recommend for anyone who is into that kind of romance trope, period drama's and Jane Austen adaptations.

Delightful charmer

Lovely, feel good, easy to watch romance. Interesting characters and premise. Beautiful sets, the rooms are often rich colours with intricate wallpapers and rugs. The music is light and playful, helping to keep the tone of the movie light and enjoyable.

I just felt swept away by this lovely movie for not quite 90 minutes of humorous and heartfelt entertainment. Great for some weekend viewing, a nice one if you like to watch romances at certain times of the month (if you know, you know) as it's not draining or traumatic at all.

Really glad I picked it at random on a Sunday evening, not realising it was made in Hungary and has subtitles but that wasn't an issue and even added to the charm.

I didn't realise it was based on a book but will seek that out, thanks to the other reviewer mentioning it.

Great movie

[ekissnite · 10/10 · 22 April 2024]

I loved this movie. It takes you back to an era where culture, classical music, polite society was the norm and human connections, friendships were meaningful. This movie brings you to times when pace of life/society was slower and enjoyable. It gives the viewers' soul a much needed lift and break from today's hurried, empty, violent, superficial lifestyle. I think, the actors were really great with great chemistry, especially the main characters. My favorite character was Katie the maid, well acted, she was hilarious. Great love story, with a twist, definitely lifted my spirits and will try to find the book to read the original story as well.

Again a remake, which could not match with the former version from 1974

[altkobor · 5/10 · 19 March 2024]

Romantic movie without the drama, which should have been if

Unfortunately the former version from 1974 (tt3749338) set the niveau so high, that this version simply could have not reached it.

The male lead was not a good choice, at the end I was asking myself if he is an actor?

I gave a star for being Hungarian movie, because I am a Hungarian.

I gave an additional star, because it roughly follows the written story of one of my favourite writer.

I gave a star for the female lead's performance.

And lastly I gave a star because at least they are tryiing to make movies like this.

I you have not seen the 1974 version, you will have nice evening.
