Magyar vándor Audience Reviews

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
sacicvel Hey everybody, it seems the reccived judgement of this film is really low. I do have Hungarian bygone, i have learnt Hungarian history, know the Hungarian culture, traditions, conception, humour, ideology, lifestyle, conduct, furthermore I do understand this film, i do understand the jokes as a Hungarian, and i can say this movie watching as a Hungarian, GOOD and AMUSING. and if you haven't learn Hungarian history and legends, don't say the jokes are bad, just because you cannot catch up or realize them. And let me not to talk about the trashy and unworthy American "movies". And do not criticise the end of the movie, sitting on the Lánchíd above the Duna and watching the lights of Budapest is a good and nostalgic feeling for hungarians (as they have history for more than 1113 years, struggles for independence under the soviet and the Turkish domination, martyrs (Arad), Jagellos, Habsburgs, migrations, Petőfi, Mikszáth, Jókai, Trianon, Nándorfehérvár, political changeover, etc, etc.) And you'd better mind you can't understand the lyric of the music under the end scenes. bye
punklili I think this movie is a "half-masterpiece". It's true that it doesn't change the world (nor do the characters in it), but it surely awakens the Hungarian identity in us! It has a quite refined humor that is typical to Hungarian movies. But this is even a special one! Because you can understand it only if you are aware of the Hungarian history. (Not recommended for foreigners, sorry...) And the movie also gives hints about smaller cases like: famous Hungarian inventions, quotations from great Hungarian poems, big events (like the result of the football match: 6-3), etc. All in a humorous way! But the most impressive thing is the truth of all that the movie shows: the big changes in Hungarian history while it also always remains the same; the typical personalities of Hungarians (the mentality of them); and the fact that anything happens here, however bad thing would that be, Hungarians will always be the same, they will always be happy, friendly and a little crazy but in our nice way! And we never lose site of hope! Entertaining, instructive, far from dull, fills the heart with warmth. It is the Hungarians', it is for the Hungarians. It always turns out that we can laugh at ourselves! :)
EDSzakal This film is one of the post-communist era. The seven Hungarian tribe chiefs are about to start the conquest of the new homeland - just realizing that they not only have a hangover from last night's farewell party, but the tribes - the Hungarians - have already left. Looking for them becomes a quest in the hectic times of history... I loved the film, the music, the clips, the plots, the sophisticated self humour, the freshness, the originality, the easiness. Based on what all Hungarians learn in history lessons, imprinted in them, this is a new approach, a show, spiced with tiny bits that maybe you get for second watching only. First time that Hungarian filmmakers show that we don't always have to take ourselves so seriously. For Hungarians living abroad, this film is a drop of water in the desert, sunshine in the dark, cozy fireplace on the north pole, yes, somewhat nostalgic. For foreigners, probably impossible to explain everything, but the best way to get something about this nation. I warmly recommend to everyone.
Legendmanagement This is the biggest piece of crap ever filmed. I know Hungarian history and I didn't crack a smile. Not even grudgingly. The audience in the theater was either running scared or was stunned into silence at this enormity. There is no plot, only a loose set of extremely lame gags tied together by the wandering chieftains, whose main characteristics are mostly expressed by the bodily noises they produce. They go through history for no apparent reason, and meet similarly insipid, one-dimensional characters disguised as historic personalities, which we are expected to find hilarious, God only knows why. I don't know any reason why anyone would want to see this or, for that matter, make this truly tasteless, unimaginative, amorphous, poor imitation of a third rate parody.
