Porumboiu's goal is more obvious - having fun, with a candy-brightness that fans of his low-key oeuvre may take a moment to adjust to. May 6, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The effort's worth it, if only for the pleasure of seeing one of the world's finest filmmakers let his hair down and play his justified paranoia for genre thrills. April 12, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

"The Whistlers" has more than enough sex and violence to satisfy the average action movie fan. But dig a bit deeper, and you'll find a mother lode of meaning just below the surface. March 26, 2020 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

What it lacks in terms of the rigor associated with Porumboiu's back catalog, it makes up for as a deadpan genre piece with a sly jab. It's a serious work of pulp friction. March 4, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Film noir is not a genre one readily associates with Romanian Cinema... But this playfully slippery thriller doesn't only boast such familiar elements as a world-weary detective, a gorgeous femme fatale and a twisty plot, it's also cracking fun. May 30, 2020 | Full Review…

Smart, well structured, and slick, The Whistlers is the film you should make someone watch who has said Romanian cinema isn't for them. May 13, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
