TILT is a really well-told story of the unpleasant and rough Bulgarian reality after the fall of communism. It's violent and romantic, it's brutal, but honest, it's painful to the ones that once shared the characters' story and are now reminded about it, but I believe it helps them reevaluate this part of their lives and gives them strength anew to tackle their current problems.Apart from the meaning and the message, this is one of the most professionally shot and edited movies from Bulgaria. The actors were very good - young, beautiful, sexy and very talented. The director has also done a great job, the cinematography is simply beautiful. It has controversial and interesting characters and a good story. Maybe harder to understand for people that have never directly come in touch with communism, but keeping your attention till the end. I felt fresh after I walked out of the theater. Definitely one of the movies that the current Bulgarian generation will play to their offspring.

I didn't expect much and that's why I'm neither disappointed ,neither fascinated. We all know that the situation in 1989 was not pink. We all know a lot of stories, a lot of movies have been made about the so called"transition".And yet again the same story.I'm tired of watching the same story again and again. The forbidden love and the s****y communistic rules. The actors are new, they are fresh and may be they made me like the movie a little bit more that the others. So as a final: Not bad movie , could've been much better, but ... we can't change it now . It is not total crap , it is not an Oscar winning movie.

TILT is not surprisingly the Bulgarian entry for the Oscars in 2012. The film is beautifully shot, the story intriguing depicting the changes in Bulgaria in the period 1989-1991 in a fresh, non-political manner, with outstanding acting performances. As a European production the film has the distinctive characteristics of independent films, however, it is not annoyingly artsy. Moreover, the visual style is distinctively creative, which a novelty for Bulgarian cinema.What I found especially noteworthy is the humor with all the serious issues of the story are presented, not diminishing their significance, moreover highlighting them that makes the film also very entertaining and pleasant to watch. The main premise is a love story that that however does not make TILT suitable only for younger audiences. The years the film is set to depict are important for Bulgarian history and familiar to a number of generations. Overall, I recommend TILT to various audiences that enjoy quality filmmaking.

Well done, "TILT" crew! My favourite scenes in this film are the comic situations! The acting of Ovanes Torosian and Ivaylo Dragiev respectively as Gogo and Angel is a true score. Radina Kardjilova is a very promising actress and in addition she has a real beauty, charm... The film flows almost perfectly till its third part. I have some remarks concerning this third and last part of the film,but I won't share it because of spoilers and because I am a "TILT" supporter ;) This film is a real fresh breath of air, a good job by Chouchkov brothers. I expect their next projects! Give the Bulgarian cinema a chance!
