As Bulgarian i wanted to like this movie and support Bulgarian movies, and to be honest actors do their job pretty good and acting is good, also i can say that camera work is at the required level too. But the good end here. This is supposed to be action comedy, an light movie to enjoy for 2 hours. However, the story is bad, with a little polishing it could turn decent for that kind of a movie. The sound is terrible, i don't know what microphones they used, but its sounds like 40 years old way of making sound in movies. The director is pathetic, too much repetitive scenes with and too obvious ads in them, plot holes, pointless scenes, complete amateur, i bet he doesn't know what story board is.. The main reason this movie is bad is because of the director, who clearly has no clue how to make (good) movies. If this movie had decent director that knows what he is doing and better editing with a bit polished story, this could become a great movie. Congratulations to the actors and the crew, for the effort :)

An average copying movie ...
viktormonov6 May 2021
The movie has good effects and I enjoyed it as I watched it for fun with my family BUT I realised it's not perfect afterwards. First of all, there are too many slo-mo scenes in which the characters are just looking at smth, or there's some stupid 5 min explosion, or they are running and jumping from some high buildings. Second of all, it contains some of the worst cliches that are tedious to watch. Last but not least, the plot is basically copy of "Thelma & Louise" (1991). I can't rate them with more than 5/10. Sorry.

Ok-ish
janefgdoe22 January 2021
The film is ok, they tried to make it modern and fun, but I think they overdid it a little. They should have invested more in the wild part and made the heroes and the settings as crazy as possible. Something like Kill Bill. It would work much better than the pretense of "realism". Also, the sound is still not optimal. So few Bulgarian movies understand that sound is an art by itself. Not the soundtrack, the sound. You have to be able to understand very easily what the actors say (in Bulgarian) and my boyfriend kept on asking me what they are saying. Which is ridiculous as he's Bulgarian. Aside from that the story is fun. I strongly object the sexual violence scene - it didn't have to be that brutal and it didn't go well at all with the over-all light-hearted theme of the film. I literally got out of the room until the scene was over. The rest of the film was fine, it was fun, it had good jokes. I think the actors needed to work a little bit more on their wildness but then considering the covid depression, maybe I'm biased. It's a good film for Saturday night.

Failure
rharalampieva2 October 2020
As all movies by Yana, Makariev, etc - full of boring advertising spots, artificial story, artificial actors play.

Explicit and intrusive advertisements of cheap Bulgarian brands
ivu8 October 2020
This film is a mockery of the entire film industry and the acting profession. Banal lines and scenes and very bad acting - all as a result of the bad and cheap script. The film is like a long advertising break with very intrusive advertisements of cheap Bulgarian brands.

Eastern Western
gavrilgd5 September 2020
It's a typical Bulgarian style nowadays criminal parody's movie. Excellent crew. Yana Marinova's best performance so far in a leading role. Also remarkable show by the best Bulgarian rapper Itzo Hazarta. He will leave you on the floor laughing. Two thumbs up!

3/10 at best
sincara_9998 December 2019
A pretty mediocre story, bad acting, super cringe-worthy moments, many unnecessary scenes, a cop inspired by Jared Leto's Joker, which is absolutely ridiculous, considering they were aiming to make the character look badass, by wearing finger rings from Aliexpress, all black outfit and even cringier lines. Bad gun props, infinity ammo, like there were some GTA:SA cheat codes enabled. The audio was recorded at best with an iPhone 4, we couldn't hear the voices of the actors at all, but the music was blasting like 50 Cent from your car back in 2004. Most of the movie was bland, lacking, and far too stretched. Got on our nerves at the cinema, because it was horrendously long. Don't waste your time. If it wasn't for Itso Hazarta I would have left 1 star.

So much fun
milenyor4 February 2020
Watched it with friends and we all loved it! The story and the cast are just great. You can easily forged that it's a Bulgarian movie, shoot and written locally on a very low budget. Don't forget that we all know how to do it well with money, the trick is to do it without ;)

Absolute trash
matakezo1 January 2022
I wouldn't spend more than a sentence on this absolute parody of an action film! Product placement at its best as it is common in most of contemporary Bulgarian films. Bad, bad, script! To simplify: an absolute trash!

Far far away from a good movie
lychonski13 September 2020
Really bad movie. Nothing special or original. Waste of time. It would be better if it was a comedy.

If you wan to watch an endless commercial. This is the movie..
bulgaria_mitko6 April 2021
First of all this movie has no point. Actually this movie has nothing. The only thing this movie have is a bunch of special effects from which you can infer to laugh how stupid they are or be amazed how stupid they are, but overall this is the story of the whole movie. In between those "amazing" special effects you can se comments. A lot of commercials. I mean like a lot a lot! I count around 15 so around every 10 minutes you have a clear commercial of something. From the begging to the very end. A pointless movie with no story. I don't know why actors wanted to play in this movie.... Oh wait, maybe because the director's wife is playing the lead role and she brings her friends to play in this movie. ;)

For a bulgarian movie- it is good
deniyoy23 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
It is a good step for the bulgarian movies. The only thing I didn't like was the borrowing from the American production - "Thelma and Lewis". I think that is time for the bulgarian productions to be more original. The acting is average. I mean it is not bad. I like that the finale is different from the american movie.There is an obvious attempt to attract viewers from foreign countries as well.As a Bulgarian, I like the music and jokes used, such as the fact that the heroine of Louisa Grigorova - Mila, says in one of the scenes that she would marry a man named Martin. And that is the director of the movie. Yes of course- the movie can be better, but i am glad i saw it. I liked it. And i will recomend it to my friends.

Fail
Pinapple_pink1 January 2022
Nothing impressive, just boring, predictable and illogical stuff. Waste of time... Even Just Like That is better than that.

Bulgaria has good actors but bad producers, the end product is not worth it.

One of the best eastern europian movie so far!
Cinemafanfr14 April 2020
A great movie with a great cast. Recommended by my friends, Bulgarians from Paris, I bought it from an online platform. Both female roles, the british Actor and the cop are unique. In fact, even the small roles are very cool and well-played, which indicates good directing. The story is compelling and well told. Extremely beautiful locations from the state of Bulgaria. The action scenes are shooted in a very hi level. The cinematography is excellent, good job and bravo for the DoP. But the music, the music is FANTASTIC - great Composer!!! I would like to watch this movie again on the big screen! Best regards from France!

AWFULLY WEAK
ivoxar-140-4673815 September 2020
When you don't have the skills to say something through your film, but you have to justify the sponsors' ads - you make an unnecessarily long film. Terribly long film - something that can be told in 25-30m, lasts more than 2 hours

Labour class( trud I tvorchestvo)
vencigfx3 December 2020
Back in the day in Bulgaria when I was a kid in school we had Labour / hand crafting classes where we will learn crafting, sewing, knitting, woodcraft, the results where pretty much disastrous. In Bulgarian this class is called "trud & tvorchestvo". And we will use this expression to indicate something is really bad made, so this film was definitely made in "trud & tvorchestvo" class.

Not worth it
luludaki29 December 2020
Boring but too long, some good actors but maybe dull screen play. If it wasn't Itso Hazarta, It would be totally waste of time. I am glad I've seen it on TV. I am disappointed.

The Bulgarian sense of humor is much more complicated than the English sense of humor. If you can't understand it, you can't understand the movie. The movie is great for spend few hours in fun!

Awful
denitsaplachkova1 January 2022
Audio is bad hardly you can hear the actors. Most of the movie is copy and paste from the American movies.

I wasted 2 hours of my life to watch this movie.

Lost in Translation
lachezarmatneshliev29 June 2022
We only wanted to have fun, learning to fly, learning to run. We let our hearts decide the way when I was young deep down, I must have always known! That this would be inevitable, I learn many things from ''Wildlings.'' All cast and crew has lovely the things they've done sometimes ''only me.'' Perfect screenwriter and directing look up the sky, not only the path inspiring from the roaring twenties! I feel like the life is flashing by! And all we can do is watch and cry from happiness of course! ''Wildlings'' life was a party to be thrown but that was a million years ago! My lovely character in the film Luiza Grigorova is just amazing! She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene! I walk around all of the streets where I grew up with every lovely characters has played in the film! I thought I saw a perfect team and film for life! Screenplay was warm and she came around like I was dignified The all cast and crew showed me what it was to be undisputed entertain and graduated!

a cliché
Marisol-2 January 2022
I really wanted to like this movie and support the Bulgarian movie industry, but this film just did not worked for me.

What I liked:
  • the production was good, like set/costume design, camera work, nice locations, etc.


  • acting and English were decent
  • the soundtrack
  • the best part for me was the Ico Hazarta scene


What I didn't liked:
  • the sound was horrible, I could barely understand some of the dialogs
  • the ads were too in your face, but I understand why they're there, so no hard feelings about that
  • the script was bad, did not made sense, the characters were poorly written, one dimensional and I couldn't care less about them
  • the whole movie was one giant cliché, it was like every cheesy American action movie in one, even at one point I thought the movie was a parody of the genre
  • the almost-rape scene was very out of place, it got too dark too fast, unnecessary for a comedy movie
  • the movie was too long.
