“The plot of “Stuff and Dough” is, at least at first glance, as plain and straightforward as the movie’s title. A young man named Ovidiu (Alexandru Papadopol) is hired by a smooth, shady businessman to drive a mysterious package — that would be the stuff — from the Romanian coastal city of Constanta to the capital, Bucharest. The dough he’ll earn for performing this simple task will help his parents, who run an informal convenience store out of their apartment, move their business into a proper kiosk. Ovidiu has his best buddy, Vali (Dragos Bucur), for company. What could go wrong? A few things will, of course: a late start; the unexpected presence of Vali’s girlfriend, Bety (Ioana Flora); and, once they’re on the highway, a red vehicle in threatening pursuit. The director, Cristi Puiu, who wrote the screenplay with Razvan Radulescu, almost casually assembles the elements of a stripped-down highway thriller, a throwback to American gear-grinders of the 1960s and ’70s like “Two-Lane Blacktop” or “The Duel.” But though it is suspenseful, unnerving and agile in its techniques, “Stuff and Dough” has more than speed and danger on its mind.” ( A. O. Scott, NY Times)
