Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Miruna Corodeanu Again, Romanians are not Gypsies! Gypsies are a minority in Romania and the point of this documentary is making it seem like all Romanians are thieves and beggars. We're not! We really do have cars and rather modern cities. We don't ride horses to work! We are not that poor. Why is every documentary or show about Romania making it seem like we steal jobs and basically steal all we can get our hands on. We are first of all white Caucasians. I am not racist but let's get our facts right. Our ancestors were the ancient Dacians and later our territory was conquered by the Romans and suffered the process of romanization. We spoke Latin, we were modernized by them. All the theories say that we are the descendants of the Roman Empire. Look it up on Wikipedia under Romanians. We were part of one of the greatest empires that ever was, us R.o.m.a.n.i.a.n.s. Please do not confuse us with the Romani, or Romi as we call them, the Gypsies. They are a minority here in Romania. Just like the Hungarians in Transilvania, just like the emigrants from the Moldavian Republic in Moldova. Transilvania and Moldova are both Romanian regions. But Moldavians and Hungarians are not Romanian and neither are the Gypisies. We are not responsible for them. They do not belong to our country and it's not our fault that they went to in different European countries because they are a minority, not a population with a country. They belong to everyone not only us so stop making documentaries about them saying they left our horrible country to pillage others. Wikipedia about Gypsies says: "The Romani (also spelled Romany; / ˈroʊməni/, /ˈrɒ-/), or Roma, are a traditionally itinerant ethnic group, living mostly in Europe and the Americas and originating from the northern regions of the Indian subcontinent, presumably from where the states Rajasthan, Haryana, and Punjab exist today. The Romani are widely known among English-speaking people by the exonym "Gypsies" (or "Gipsies"), which some people consider controversial due to its connotations of illegality and irregularity."They originated from the northen regions of the Indian subcontinent. I am a citizen of Romania and this documentary is based on falsities and makes my country look bad and I do not agree with it!

claudistu All this " documentary" is made with derogatory language about ROMANIANS versus gypsies, nomadic population came to Europe from India in the Middle Ages and found in all European countries. This awful "documentary" make a deliberate confusion between ROMANIANS and gypsies.In another EU countries(ROMANIA is EU member since 2007) most of Romanians who works there have highly intellectual qualified :doctors(we have a niece who is head of department, neurology specialist at a hospital in Leipzig!!!),architects, engineers, IT developers etc. but also skilled workers...we have now a new president , elected from the German minority of ROMANIA, Mr.Johannis. ROMANIA is the seventh EU country as population, as well as one of the leading NATO members in Europe.We ROMANIANS have built and Holocaust Memorial in Bucharest!!!!!, for Jews and gypsies!!!!WHERE IS DISCRIMINATION against Jews and gypsies in ROMANIA????in ROMANIA are 619000 gypsies(official census2011)-that is 3% from TOTAL POPULATION of ROMANIA.There are European countries where the number of gypsies is much higher compared to the total population:Spain, Bulgaria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, etc.gypsies are nomadic population came to Europe from India during the Middle Ages!!!As well party of the Hungarian minority(5% official census 2011 from total population) it was in various Romanian governments from 1996 till now.If you want to be respected, you need to respect others.Look at the beam from your eyes before you see the speck in the eyes of the others! I am already sick when I saw that hypocrisy,ROMANIA is a model in EU for how WE treat minorities , gypsies including -Barroso ,the former President of the European Commission said again and again .Because "a lie repeated obsessively will be for fools the TRUTH , ultimately". Did you know in the name of "positive discrimination" and not to "disturb" packs of gypsies and especially of their "sensitivity", that are offered them places in colleges and universities with NO CONTEST???? We ROMANIANS are discriminated, in no event minorities, including of course as well as the gypsies.Enough with the double standard.I just remember 1st of January 2007, our entry in EU.Ten(10) Ridiculous journalists from UK-sorry,just from England!-expected waves of Romanian immigrants at BUCHAREST Henri Coanda International Airport.SURPRISE!!!three (3)Romanians went in UK on 1 January, and until January 10 another 20 Romanians. I have seen your behavior on vacation, at some hotels in continental Greece and Greek islands, Italy, Spain, Turkey.Apart from poor education and excessive alcohol consumption, do you have something else to offer in Europe?

Corneliu Ticu You can make people from any nation look like this.The Americans are coming. The Europeans are coming. The Russians are coming. The Chinese are coming. So what ? Everybody "is coming the same way" when you search for people at the bottom of any society. How do you people think Nazi propaganda started in Germany ? It's the same with the ethnic Hungarians from Romania. They make these Nazi movies to tare down the country they live in, while at the top of Romanian society. I wonder how live of this "Romanian" director Fechete, looks like... living in Romania at the top of the Romanian Society. So watch this movie and get to know who's coming, through the eyes of a naive and frustrated wannabe something ... who knows what.

djfuturex I am a mixed Romanian/English citizen with parents from both countries and I can actually say that this was painful !Its true Romanian does have areas that frankly you are afraid to walk through but !!! most of it is a normal country with normal people. Why do people try to move their political agendas by making documentaries that portray the bottom of the barrel ?If you go though the UK, you will find similar people that are British and live in similar conditions !I for example have a degree, a job, a house, a English wife, my friends are of mixed races ranging from Romanian, African, British, Oriental and all of them function well in the society, contribute and to be frank if we didn't need immigrants why are we letting them in ?The person sitting at home claiming benefits because they cant be asked to work: WHO DO YOU THINK PAYS FOR YOUR BENEFITS ?In conclusion quite a few (birth) Brits were disappointed with this weak attempt to denigrate a nation of hard working people !
