Synopsis

Somewhere in the Balkans, 1995. A team of aid workers must solve an apparently simple problem in an almost completely pacified territory that has been devastated by a cruel war, but some of the local inhabitants, the retreating combatants, the UN forces, many cows and an absurd bureaucracy will not cease to put obstacles in their way.

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
lparisi79 I found this movie very vell made. It helps yuo reflecting about absurdity of war. Some scenes are very touching others make you laugh. Great interpretation by Robbins and Del Toro. I suggest you to watch it! It's different from usual films, very original, few speech, great deepness. I wanted it lasted more...
gtyoshida A compelling story begins with a simple event that becomes a complex masterpiece. "A Perfect Day" opens as a group of aid workers in the war torn Balkan region struggle to pull a dead corpse out of the village well before the rotting flesh poisons the water. When their only rope breaks and the body falls back down the well, the team leader Mambru (Benicio Del Toro), his garrulous friend, B (Tim Robbins), the novice aid worker, Sophie (Melanie Thierry), and the local translator, Damir (Fedja Stukan) must drive through the countryside searching for another rope. Disheartened by ridiculous peace protocols, hostile natives, and invisible landmines, they find their only salvation is to act humanly in the present rather than cling to their past beliefs or live for their future dreams. Olga Kurylenko (Katya) and Eldar Residovic (Nikola) round out the cast.
papatowai Rubbish. This is a bad American comedy that attempts to appear different by virtue of its interesting setting; however, no setting, no matter how interesting, can make up for a terrible script, sexist typecast characters, and "Balkan" English consisting of no more than removing every article from local characters' lines. Benicio del Toro did his job well, but there's only so much a decent actor can do with terrible lines and an all-round crappy script. The number of instances in just the first hour in which women characters are scared or unreasonable and have to be rescued or calmed by an experienced, tough man was beyond cringe-worthy. I walked out after an hour and a quarter of this drivel.
Gordon-11 This film tells the daily lives of several aid workers in an armed conflict zone in the Balkans. They have to extract a corpse from a well, but are faced with multiple logistical and bureaucratic challenges."A Perfect Day" may look ridiculous and infuriating from the outside, as it tells a story of ridiculous bureaucracy. So if the common goal is to help the people in a war zone, why are there so many restrictions and hurdles to helping others? Well, my workplace is exactly like that, do I can relate to every single minute of it. The subplot about the local boy Nikola is touching, as it provides a glimpse of hope for humanity - sometimes real help is from unofficial sources!
