No pun intended - you can ask that for many movies I reckon. And it is a valid question here too. You have a one location movie, but at least you have an outside and inside scenario going on. So there is a lot of variation going on ... and quite a few colorful characters. Your moral compass may lead you to have some issues with certain things ... just suspend your disbelief and go with the flow.

This is a slow burner and you can somewhat claim or put the Western label on it. But maybe not in the way some of you think. Again, you have to let the movie move at its own pace ... let things build up ... before all goes ... well there is some mayhem towards the end. Predictable to a degree ... but also fun to watch. Well fun, because we know it is a movie. Not so much fun for those involved ... and decisions have to be made ... status quo or risking once own life to do or go a different path? Not easy to answer ... and a "not answer" sometimes is also an answer. Some graphic violence and some sexual situations ... in case that means anything for or to you.

I liked the characters, the slow storytelling. If you want to see a fast pacing action movie it is not your title but it has some western like crime/drama tone I enjoyed till the end.

I rated it to nine which is unrealistic but I really enjoyed this movie more than other 7ish or some 8ish movies. This can be because I am hungarian too, but I still think it is worth to watch.

Who would have thought a film set entirely at a gas station could be this engaging? This was absolutely brilliantly done! Wow, it was portrayed so well how quickly a normal situation can turn for the worse. Roland Tzafetas is excellent as Zoli, who tells the story of a dog, as a back story. His story spans the entire film and was just as interesting as the premise itself. Things suddenly and quickly go sour, with great acting and effects, and rather suspenseful at that! The film's final moment was so awesome!!

If you don't have the budget of Hollywood movies, but you have a good idea how to make a true film, odds are on your side, as the story, script, acting, and alike which you can't buy with money (in a broad sense) are always more important, than the overpowering visual effects, and the faces of the current movie stars. Kút (Well) has to offer much: decent story, which keeps some suspense all the way to the end and shackles you to your chair; fair and good acting. You'll try to anticipate the events and think with the characters' head, altough most things will probably take a different route. Contains some nasty visual things, some of which I didn't liked, or I would have changed, altough nothing on the scale of gib/gore movies have, I think it's managable for nearly everyone. It'll be a good experience, if you decide to give it a watch, I recommend it.

I loved the movie for the actors, the mood and the storyline. Unpredictable in every way you can imagine. All the characters seem lost and lonely and happiness is found at places you don't expect. (I would love to explain more but that would mean to spoil the movie.)

If you love indie chic, you will love it. It's a sort of stationary road movie that surprises with its twists and turns. Sometimes a bit slow but this helps to set the mood that made this movie special, too.

I loved the actors - and actresses. The men are mostly gross but women are beautiful to look at - and fall in love with.

Oh, great writing and directing, too.
