Our take

An expansive and riveting procedural from Romanian filmmaker Constantin Popescu, this gripping investigation into a child’s disappearance unfolds with nerve-jangling tension. With an award-winning performance from New Wave star Bogdan Dumitrache, Pororoca is a simmering tale of parental anguish.
