Saša feels that her marriage to Karel has come to a dead end, so she decides to move out for a while, finding refuge with Dušan. Both are trying to work out their relationships and provide support for each other as uncertainty gets the better of them. Bohdan Karásek’s feature debut directs its focus on the spontaneity of both dialogue and performance. With discreet elegance and subtle humour it portrays the world of thirty-somethings, who seek, find and sometimes also lose their friends and life partners. Karel, Me and You is the next instalment in the series of “domestic films” (Lucie, 2011; Love Songs, 2013), which enabled the director to shoot his projects despite a lack of funding. He turns the limitations of working with a low budget to his advantage, thereby leaving his unique stamp on Czech cinema. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)

O filme narrativamente trivial não explora deliberadamente o potencial do triângulo amoroso e do princípio ao fim permanece exclusivamente numa forma não específica do género, definível como um drama de conversa ensaístico sobre o tema das conversas sobre amor, vida e relações, enquanto que os debates profundos dos personagens são na sua maioria no estilo de conversa amigável ao beber uma cerveja com um toque de leve filosofismo. À primeira vista, o filme é um pouco prejudicado pela sua aparente barateza (orçamento mínimo, falta de iluminação, imagem visualmente pouco atraente), o que é felizmente compensado pela maturidade de realização e argumento do promissor realizador, cuja força é a ênfase na naturalidade e autenticidade das expressões e diálogos dos atores tirados da vida, o que faz um pequeno filme autoral de geração simpático.

What I find good about this weird film is that it stars Jenovéfa Boková and no animals were harmed. Well, that’s about it. I did not notice any kind of plot, just endless philosophizing about relationships accompanied by drums. Over time, all that useless claptrap and drumming started getting on my nerves, and given how bored I was, the film was disgustingly long.

Bohdan Karásek is for me a wonderful discovery in the field of Czech cinema. I already found his medium-length pictures Love Songs and Lucie very intriguing, so I was really looking forward to this conversational relationship movie. High expectations often lead to disappointment, but I am happy to say that this is not the case. It’s not often that you get to see a movie so real and at the same time so clever. Moreover, it has the wonderful charm of an authentic message. Some of the dialogue exchanges could be set in stone. Even from the acting point of view, it's a great show. (85%)
