Tibor and Niki, father and daughter. The young girl was only five years old when they last saw each other, before Tibor was sent to prison. He is released seven years later and tries not to think about the past. Yet he can’t erase his daughter from his life and so they are compelled to start over from the beginning. Both are irresistibly charismatic, headstrong and irascible, but also determined to find a way back to one another. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)

Giving a movie a low rating just because someone has made something similar in the past seems to me totally unfair nowadays. After all, there's not much new to invent and where on earth can you find themes that haven't yet been made into films. The most powerful stories are usually written by life itself. Talented Hungarian director Hajni Kis found inspiration in her own childhood. Her debut feature film, Wild Roots, is very well directed, shot and narrated, and is dominated by the excellent performances of the central figures of Gusztáv Dietz and Zorka Horváth. And the soundtrack, which almost perfectly captures the atmosphere of the environment in which the story takes place, must not be overlooked. (80%)

Acting-wise and on a technical level this movie was a job well done, however, despite that, the central storyline of finding long-lost estranged family members then meeting and bonding with them is nothing we have not seen before. I am giving this an unenthusiastic thumbs up, although I am slowly getting tired of trying to evaluate and rate subject matter that has been done to death and rehashed a hundred times already just because the director’s feature debut is really beautifully filmed.
