What do you do when the apparition of your recently deceased mom tells you to go to Bucharest to find yourself? Why, you fly to Bucharest to find yourself, of course.
So goes the set-up of this genre-mashing comedy/romance/crime-flick hybrid, starring Shia LaBeouf as the eponymous lost soul searching for purpose in the Romanian capital, where he hooks up with local cellist Gabi (Evan Rachel Wood) and falls foul of her gangster ex Nigel (a psychotic Mads Mikkelsen).
This wasn’t exactly the most challenging film of the festival but, with its stylish visuals, thumping Moby soundtrack (recalling more than a hint of Euro thriller Run Lola Run) and comic support from The Inbetweeners’ James Buckley and Harry Potter’s Rupert Grint, it’s a hell of a lot of fun.

Of course, in the real world, most porn addicts wouldn't bag someone like Johansson. At least I think. You'd more than likely end up with the 50 cigs a day 30 year old with 17 kids who looks like she's 55.

I truly cannot give a s**t when people say Radcliffe is good in a movie, it is physically impossible.

Fruitvale won the Grand Jury Prize and should definitely be number one; i was there in the theater during the first showing of it and everybody was in tears.
