actually, i prefer it that way   seriously! one guy is talking over every character in the movie, but you can clearly hear original voices in the background, so you know how real actors sound like, (and you learn the language! that's why i'm better in listening than writing things in english )
 it's not that distracting as it seems. i promise it's sort of neutral, or perhaps you just get used to it and don't even notice anymore
yep, i'm Slav

Slav here also  (with mix of German and Italian blood) but grew up on subtitles  . But I must agree with you that Russian/Polish way of dubbing is better than German/Italian/Spanish.

Honestly, I don't even remember when was the last time that I was watching some film with subtitles (except in movie theaters of course).

yes, yes, i need to clarify, this way of one-guy over the whole thing is just for the stuff in tv! movies released in theaters are just with subtitles (no dubbing whatsoever, i don't remember seeing a film with a lector in movie theater - ever), and full dubbing is made for kids movies only (cartoons and such).
sorry for being OT :D

Dubbing of cartoons is OK on TV (sometimes in theaters also).  Never had a problem with watching Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry  or Disney like that. When you're kid that's actually the better way.

yeah, SWEN announced a summer or early fall theatrical release date, so we'll have A Ghost Story in July, then Una (perhaps the end of this summer?) and Mary Magdalene in the fall! :yay:

btw, a german review gives Una 4,5/5! and raves about Rooney (from what my google translator made out of it :P )
Review: Una und Ray (Kino)

Rough translation:

"Ray (Ben Mendelsohn, "Dirty Trip - Missisippi Grind") is quite unhappy when the much younger Una (Rooney Mara, "Carol") appears in the office. The two had an affair 15 years ago. Since Una was only 13 years old, Ray had to go to prison for 4 years. In the meantime, he has managed to build a new life with his wife (Natasha Little, "Thirteen") and to develop a good position in his company. While he has handled the past well, Una has still not been able to complete the events. Between the two, a passionate discussion emerges, in which they speak openly about the common time for the first time. But there is always the chance to return to everyday life after such a revelation ?

The play "Blackbird" by Scotsman David Harrower became a provocative hit, which has been populating the world's stages for more than ten years. The author hochselbst also wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation, directed by director novice Benedict Andrews. The result is an oppressive dialogue firework, which impresses with atmospheric density. Unflinching and quite realistic, the story plunges into a world that can be seen as a sort of loose continuation of "Lolita". Without words the film accompanies Una at a party evening full of alcohol and impersonal toilet sex. It soon becomes obvious how the childhood experiences with the 25 years older man were for them. Una is a calm, rather shy person, who has noticeable respect for her past. Ray has trouble taking responsibility for his actions from then on. With a mixture of fades and conversations, a film is developing, which is more captivating than many a thriller. Bold, but never instructive, one approaches such a complex topic. One reason why "Una and Ray" works so well are two fascinatingly strong main actors. Rooney Mara plays a fragile, unstable Una who wants to get her life under control. Ben Mendelsohn plays a man who, with his hands and feet, refuses to be seen as a monster. Both deliver powerful, intelligent and emotionally sincere performances that are certainly among the best in the year. In addition to the two, Riz Ahmed ("Rogue One - A Star Wars Story") as Ray's colleague, who is between the fronts of the two, gets something to

In contrast to comparable productions, "Una and Ray" also understands that the event is not too much to roll out. The makers are very well aware that a pure dialogue film can be exhausting in the long run. Here, a story is told in a crisp 94 minutes, which does not cheat the viewer of every action book and at the same time leaves no room for length. So "Una and Ray" goes with the claim, emotional intelligence and outstanding performers under the skin and is in the end above all one: very good movie."

  4.5/5

Mississippi Grind is a very recommendable film. Ben is one of the finest actors really. His performance in Bloodline rises the serie Rooney now needs a film with Joel Edgerton for complete her Australian dream ... :)

When Rooney replaced Mia as Therese (August 2013), I remember some discussions on Carol's IMDb page about further casting (at that point only Cate and Rooney were cast) - Edgerton was one of fan favorites to play Harge  (with Toni Collette as Abby).
