    The worst movie I've ever seen

    The worst movie I've ever seen.

    Fierce art house that no one should watch. There was an idea, but it was lost, there is no exposition. In an hour and a half you will not remember any character, you will not understand what is happening and what the author wanted to say. Only if you google custom reviews, only then will the puzzle come together.

    The prologue in general seems to have been filmed for another film and has nothing to do with the main film. You can throw away the first half hour, you won't lose anything

    The film constantly tries to drag out time, the film constantly takes the longest pauses to reach the required 1.5 hours so that it can be shown in cinemas.

    Not worth watching...

    Raw Realities: A Cinematic Dive into Ukraine's 90's

    A remarkable film with its own unique cinematic language, emulating the amateur video aesthetics of the 90s.

    Following Nail, this is the director's next work to explore a similar visual style, this time turning its focus to the end-of-millennium Ukraine with it's grim realities of crime and the ethical dilemma of capital punishment for convicted individuals.

    Hyper-realistic in form, as if captured by an investigative team's camera, the film transcends its narrative to pose broader questions about the evolution of cinematic language. It challenges us to reconsider what we recognize as artistic cinema-or cinema as a whole.

    This work aligns seamlessly with the progression of contemporary artistic expression, redefinding its medium by exploring the "cinematic" essence of the visual world.

    A captivating experience, it provokes both thought and anticipation for the director's future projects. Fingers crossed that they continue to refine and expand this distinctive and visionary style.
