The film was interesting, but it's short, if you saw LGBTQ+ movies before, prepare because it's different than you'd expect. Even though the film it's based on a real story, the main character it's the typical struggling, internalized, and homophobic homosexual. His job as gendarm plays a big role in it too. The movie has an "useless" scene which I didn't understood at all (I'm referring to the dog story if you'll get to see the movie).

The continuing tension I felt while watching the movie makes me think the director did a good job and the main character too. I'm saying this as an homosexual who's still in the closet: it felt authentic and I'm hoping that this movie will open the path to more LGBTQ+ movies directed by romanians.

I'd definitely recommend to anyone to watch it.

A difficult topic, the story of a gendarme leading a double life, whose secret is on the verge of being revealed. The background of a real-life incident in which a controversial movie projection was interrupted by a group opposing the subjectmatter of the movie is a pretext, and yet it gets too much time in this movie. This is what leads to an imbalance. There is too much noise, and "noise", and that makes it rather unfair for the psychological drama of the hero to unfold. Apart from that, the characters are very convincing, especially the gendarmes and, of course, the main character. What is nevertheless puzzling is the title. Why is it called "Poppy Field" in the first place?
