Poziţia Copilului
Child's Pose
Aufmerksam inspiziert Cornelia die Haare, die sie im Abfluss der Badewanne gefunden hat. Sie ist allein in der Wohnung ihres 35-jährigen Sohnes, und nutzt die Chance, sich umzugucken. Călin Peter Netzer liefert mit seinem dritten Spiel lm die beklemmende Analyse einer Mutter-Sohn-Beziehung. Der Berlinale-Gewinner 2013 erzählt eine dramatische Variante dieses Verhältnisses, doch in dem Spektrum von Fürsorge bis Übergriff, das in der Badezimmer-Szene so furios inszeniert wird, dürften viele sich selbst oder ihre Eltern verorten können. Das macht Mutter und Sohn so zugänglich - und in seiner Brillanz so eindringlich. (Hannah Pilarczyk, Der Spiegel)
As watchable as daytime drama, Child's Pose is an on-target, tragi-comic portrait of a domineering mother who sees a chance to regain control over her adult son when he faces manslaughter charges for reckless driving. The screenplay by Răzvan Rădulescu and director Călin Peter Netzer is admirably handled, with wicked moments of humor balancing out a truly dramatic finale. More than anything else, it is Gheorghiu's un-self-conscious, realistic character study of the emotional tyrant Cornelia that keeps the engine running on a compactly written drama. (Deborah Young, The Hollywood Reporter)
