About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a wry, human-scale romantic tragicomedy about youthful longing and social pressures in 1960s Czechoslovakia; Not for you if uncomfortable sexual situations or bleak, awkward humor aren’t your thing, like in The Firemen's Ball.

Pros: bittersweet humor; sharp social observations; memorable awkward moments | Cons: uncomfortable age-gap flirting; sad undertones; uneven laughs
