Notes
This is a film that could have been very fine, but was unsatisfying at the end· I'm not sure why. Was it because character was not finely developed? What was the spark that led to the development of Szabolcs and Aron infactuation· The attempted theft of Szabolcs motocycle by Aron was unconvincing· Why Director Ádám Császi's ending? It seemed cheap.
