O dívce, která šlápla na chléb

A fairytale based on themes from Hans Christian Andersen. The first half is very good, but from the moment when Gita sinks into the marsh, it diverges too far from the Danish original, trying to make it fit today’s world. Then, the screenwriter Lucie Konášová begins recycling lame Xmas humor from a movie she wrote two years earlier, the Angel of the Lord. and from then on it’s a waste of time. The ending is then just a disappointing zenith of wasted opportunity. (25.12.2007)
