A movie which makes you feel better about our society

As a Romanian this movie brought me hope about our society, even though this isn't a good movie in a lot of aspects(script at some points, cinematography, some of the casting), being corny and clicheic (by bringing all of the possible romanian stereotypes in a place) at some points; Even though the action is happening in a single location, it manages to make you feel better about the society you live in, and why not, it makes you think about life in general, bringing to you a lot of feelings along the way, but at some points it makes you lose this feelings because of a corny line/mediocre acting. It could've been better than it actually is, but for a Romanian production and a small budget, this movie managed to surprise me and I think it succeded in its purpose

It can be the best drama film

Everything appears to be realistic and although the action happens in a more constrained spare, a metro carriage, it doesn't fall down from showing action and the important facts of life. The characters are personal and you get to grow with each of them even if this is for a short while. If you are open to empathy and love you will probably resonate with the action and overall message. It is simple and yet profound. I really enjoyed it and it made me think about it after watching.

Quite bad

I liked the description but it really disappointed me. It could've been much better. The characters didn't feel human, they were just stereotypes and caricatures, and there was little character development.

How tf did they all know the guy in the cool shirt was gay? That's it? If you look pretty and have fine taste in shirts, then you're gay? Very dismissive, they simplified a complex experience until it became ridiculous.

Very poor depiction of autism (the "special needs" implied). Autistics wouldn't run around hugging everyone randomly, giving their toys and sweets to strangers, and smiling and staring at random people. That's a magic elf they had in mind. They really dehumanised the kid and his actual real sensory needs which would've been overstimulated in that noisy crowded environment.

All the random flirting - so unnecessary and CRINGE. Do people ever talk like that? Why the innuendos? Why can't they be friends first? I don't understand why the artsy chick kept talking to that arsehole. Why is she so interested in a random guy who isn't even nice to her? Why is she committed to getting to know him? Why on earth would he think it's a good idea to kiss her after bullying her? Have the writers met any real women and asked them if they would like anything like that? It's not romantic, it's cringe and repulsive, and the guy is toxic.

I could go on like this for all characters, but I'll just ask who thought Cotimanis walking around eavesdropping and dishing out unsolicited advice was a good idea? And the grand speech at the end? Dramatic, but empty. Didn't feel anything throughout the whole movie.

A few good things about it:

Laughed my ass off with my best friend at all the corny or cringey lines, so for us this was quite the comedy.

I'm glad we all agreed the corporate guy was nasty (instant cringe).

I appreciate the positive message and hope it somehow gets through, and also hope that the writer(s) can create some more realistic and complex characters, situations and dialogues next time.
