Omnipresent

Lets get the cons out of the way immediately: Yes its has a bit more nudity than your average film and some scenes are slow-ISH. But thats about it, everything else is a picture perfect execution. The actors really convey their emotions with just a glance. The screenplay is very well written it really shows character dynamics and relationships between the characters. And when everything starts to unfold it really keeps you on the edge, makes you uncomfortable (in a good way which i cannot describe here because it would be a spoiler) and makes you REALLY experience what the main character is feeling in those final scenes. It really is one of the better Bulgarian movies and Im proud that my home country has came out with such a masterpiece! The 7.5 stars rating almost does it justice, personally i would give it like an 8.1! A must watch for any movie enthusiast that likes psychological drama and "Big Brother" esq. Genre!

Long after the end of "Omnipresent," I still couldn't come out of a trance overwhelmed with thoughts about what awaits us beyond tomorrow's dawn. Painfully absorbed in the screens of smart devices, we slowly and surely miss the life happening around us. The dilemmas of morality were galloping mercilessly out of the screen.

In the film's almost imperceptible 120 minutes, I did not find myself shaking my head once at the all-too-familiar Bulgarian cinematic didactics. On the contrary, I enjoyed a perfectly and fully realized vision - dramatic performances and cinematography on a world level, and tension in each scene so strong that the lump in my throat broke with each micro climax. Skillfully built dramatic moments, spiced by excellent jokes, thanks to the exceptional work of the dialogists.

"Omnipresent" runs so smoothly it's almost as if it were a well-shot reality. The film unrelentingly played with my heartstrings and my mind. One moment it was tossing me wildly from one of life's secrets to another, and in another it was trapping me tightly between four walls – behind which existed far too well known and fiery occurrences.

"You should only know as much as you can bear. Even one truth too many can kill you"

"Omnipresent" rushed me into infinite self-awareness, showed my fears, and pushed my shame towards the surrounding world almost to a breaking point. It returned my belief in our native cinema's tenacity for development, showing me a non-standard manifestation of the interest in the life of others.

A contemporary story told in very realistic setting, a lot of character background. What I did not like were the same old pauses, which characters add for some unknown reason (drama probably) for the past 50 years of Bulgarian cinema. Fortunately they are getting shorter and shorter with each decade. Sound, again. Character speech is sometimes hard to understand.

Acting was superb , casting fitted the characters perfectly. The only weaker role had main character's girlfriend - Maria. But since this is her first big role, it was a good start.

I'm glad the director- Ilian Djevelekov continues to make better and better movies. The screenplay was very very interesting, detailed and tight. This time he raised the bar way far, so for his next movie we'll have much higher expectations.

What shook me most is how real every scene was. At least half of the feelings I saw in the characters I have also felt myself. Immersive, part of real life stories, down to earth characters. Both interesting, spicy, zero exaggerating and in the end - even brutal. Highly recommended!

I guess there is no one that have ever touched a 'device' with the ability to record video and audio - knowingly or unknowingly to the audience and not to notice the idea of Emil floating in one's mind. Very good approach to the character development, dynamic narrative and a pinch of aristocracy, which unfortunately lacks in the 'modern' Bulgarian society today. Worth watching, regardless of the nationality though. Definitely recommended.

I'm amazed by the movie and the whole idea behind it! It illustrates the digital age and all the dangers behind it! Great masterpiece and everyone must watch it !
