Mindenki (2016)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
Zsofi (Dorka Gasparfalvi) arrives at a new school where she joins the choir, which is considered to be one of the very best in the country. After her first day of practice the teacher holds her after class and tells her that she's not quite good enough to be singing so she wants her to just move her mouth. Soon Zsofi tells a friend what the teacher told her and before long more secrets come out about the teacher.
MINDENKI was Hungary's entry for the Best Live Action short. It's certainly a charming little picture that has a nice story to it, some great performances as well as a terrific pay-off that makes it worth watching. There are several very good moments in the film but there's no question the highlight comes at the very end but I certainly won't spoil it. I really liked the performance by Gasparfalvi but also that of Zsófia Szamosi who plays the teacher. The film certainly has a message to get across and it does so in a fun way.
