6.5/10
Some time ago at the FNC I saw a Romanian film called Tuesday, After Christmas about the dissolution of a relationship due to infidelity. It was tremendous, one of my favorites of the year. Maybe I was hoping this Romanian film about the dissolution of a relationship could be a repeat success, but no such luck. During a New Year's Eve party, and without warning, Radu breaks up with his girlfriend of two years. The rest of the night bounces him around as he mopes from party to party with his friends. At some point he latches onto the idea of reconciling with another ex-girlfriend, Natalia, and spends the rest of the night tracking her down (the "month in Thailand" of the title references a vacation Radu was supposed to take with his girlfriend, which he later proposes to Natalia). The movie has some interesting things to say about relationships, but nothing earth-shattering or brand new. All in all it felt kind of pointless.
