Wordiezett So much average

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

bandito worth 7.5+ I Loved some of the dance songs number. I thought it was very original. feel like a decent budget filming. I like the acting of the mermaids and the 3 musicians with them. solid direction. I would have probably like the musical better if I would be Polish. Very original and unique take on mermaids/sirens lords .

Paul Magne Haakonsen When I found "Córki Dancingu" (aka "The Lure") in the horror section, I was instantly interested because the movie's DVD cover looks rather interesting and appealing. And just the fact that it is a horror movie is already more than enough to have me lured in - pardon the pun.There was a little bit too much singing, dancing and musical to this movie for my liking. Then at least if that was the intention, the movie should have been labeled as a musical. And Polish as a language is not overly fit for singing if you are a non-native to Poland. So that was a little bit strained to get through.The special effects in the movie were surprisingly good, and I had not expected that level of CGI. The effects work very well in favor of the movie and add a lot of realism and detail to the movie in terms of the mermaids and such."Córki Dancingu" has a fairly interesting character gallery, and they have a good ensemble of actors and actresses to perform the various roles and characters. I wasn't familiar with a single one in the movie, but then again this is the first Polish movie that I have seen.The story in the movie was interesting and entertaining enough, just a shame it was ruined by all the singing and dancing. The story is about two Mermaids capable of taking human form, whom find employment at a nightclub. One of them is eager for the experience of human love, while the other seeks to devour human flesh.If you decide to sit down to watch this movie, do take into consideration that there is a lot of singing in it, making it half a musical actually. Sure, I can grasp the singing in regards of sirens using song to lure their prey, but at least it could have been advertised that this was a musical of sorts on the movie cover. And I must admit that I was on the verge of giving up on the movie several times throughout the course of the numerous song and dance scenes.The surgery and transplant part of the movie was just downright ridiculous as it was so unrealistic, well as realistic as can be when taking into consideration that this is a movie with mermaids in it after all.I think that writer Robert Bolesto and director Agnieszka Smoczynska opted for an avantgarde approach to the movie. Did it work out? Well, that is a matter of personal preference, of course. As you might have guessed by now already, then I didn't care much for it.While the movie runs at 1 hour and 32 minutes, the pacing of the movie and the musical aspect of the movie made it seem like it was a much longer ordeal to sit through.Had this been a proper movie without the dancing and singing it would have been so much more enjoyable.

cdcrb spoiler alert. this is basically your run of the mill vampire movie, only with mermaids. two sisters are discovered and brought to a polish night club, strip joint, what have you, and become singing sensations. they also eat their men folk. they turn into mermaids when they are doused with water or get thrown into it. one of sisters falls in love with a band member and it will not turn out well. we know this because we are told in advance what is going to happen. the disco music is a bit of a surprise and some fun for a while. but it's all pretty dreary stuff. I must say that the mermaid concept itself is very well done. the sisters actually look as if they have tails. a lot of people started checking their electronic devices after about an hour. never a good sign. I mention this, because when I saw "split" not one person in the audience took out their phone. that is not an endorsement for that movie.

bbgon I just came from a screening of this movie at the filmPolska festival in Berlin. I enjoyed it more than I expected, because the film description made me a bit apprehensive. But it turned out very good! I enjoyed the unexpected mix of comedy, drama, music, horror, fairy tale and a bit of eroticism. It also had a nice flair of the 1980s Poland. The visual part of the film is great: the mermaids are very realistic (if you can say that about a mermaid), with long and heavy fishtails, and the actresses give a great performance. Despite their prettiness, the mermaid sisters look inhuman, animalistic. Mermaids are said to sing extraordinary beautiful song to attract men (and then kill them, heh), so I think it was a difficult task to create music to reflect this. However, it worked brilliantly. I was also pleasantly surprised by the subtle eroticism which never bordered with vulgarity. (It was also great to see a love scene between two women, I didn't expect it from a Polish movie.) Great job!
