Stop-Zemlia

It's really wonderful film. I have felt the extraordinary familiar and, although not always, pleasant atmosphere. Pretty and live heroes, wool clothes, impressive music, great scenes and professional work... I fall in live <3 Thanks to all the team that worked at this. I want to buy the cup with logo or the picture from the dude's room in a hat (where the plane is).

Somewhere in 15 minutes. I asked my friends this art, isn't the woman the director of the "masterpiece" ?! Lots of psychological twists, empty dialogues and lack of plot. The game of actors is the bottom, and the main character Masha this role - a complete failure. Her brother could not master even a short scene in the school canteen - we have many talented and gifted children in drama clubs and theater studios! Why are these talentless zeros on the screens? Protracted sophisticated dialogues, Russisms and mothers were supposed to shock the audience and show the gray world of teenagers, but showed the limitations and poverty of the director. Watch the trailers before paying for the ticket!)

There's a heartbreaking moment in Stop, Zemlia! (a game that goes a bit like Pin a Tail) when most of the movie's teenage protagonists go to a gun-shooting demo put on by the Army. It's as if they were preparing for what's happening to them now, and getting their high-schoolers ready for combat. While the movie is not about the fate of the Ukraine, it makes watching this tale of angst-ridden adolescence all the more poignant. Turns out Ukrainian kids have the same problems ours do: cutting, depression, drugs, bullying, too much phone time, ADD; but in Kateryna Gornostai's superbly deft, loving portrait of her subjects, they do so with endearing, eloquence, and even a stoic, humorous charm you won't be able to resist. This is not a Marvel caper, so don't expect pace, or even plot. This is a tender slice of teenage life, reminiscent perhaps of Richard Linklater's "Boyhood", and in its more documentary moments, of Mike Mills's C'mon C'mon. You need to be patient, open, and willing to risk discomfort to watch this movie, the way you might be with your at-home teen. The rewards will be abundant. An uplifting and deeply affecting debut.

I expected that I did not like the film, but even after seeing the quality of the image, direction and color editing, I became interested - maybe the film is of better quality than I expected. And then the dialogues and the plot captivated me, I felt nostalgia - even though I did not even have similar episodes in my life. In general, I really liked the film, it was very exciting, I got a little lost in its world (although the subject matter is not at all typical for me). In general, I advise you to try to watch, even if you are a man of 25+ years and you think that this topic is definitely not suitable for you.

The screenplay is outstanding, close-up cinematography, perfect music, and good actor play. This movie could bring us back to the time when we were 16.
