Hater

It scared me. Be prepared to get slightly paranoid afterwards...

I am honestly still unsure what the message of the movie was:

• Was it that these companies exist and we should proceed with caution with all information posted on Facebook?
• Or was it that there are very intelligent sociopaths out there who if you're unfortunate will destroy your life?
• Maybe it simply wanted to demonstrate that if you work hard enough, don't care about values/limits or anyone you'll get everything you wanted?

Regarding the plot: There were some weaknesses in the beginning, I guess. The whole setting and everything seemed weird. However, after finishing the movie I assume it was meant to feel that way for a viewer. I am just pointing this out because one of my friends left, in the beginning while we watched it. It is somewhat sad, because the acting is great, the plotting is nicely played and the plot twists are on point. The only thing that I am irritated by is the last scene with his boss, because I would have expected from her to have bugs in her room which she maybe could activate by tapping somewhere on her table - as her security net. A recording of that conversation would have ruined his show... Oh well, overall a well done critic of our modern society!

The Hater is a Polish film that shows and proved how easily some people can control media and used them against them to ruin their lifes,i will start with saying that this film is one of best one that i saw in entire year,of course i mean from new realeses and it suceeded with its powerful ,impactful and true message to many people,acting is also on point and one of best that i saw entire year,characters were only explored on surfuce but it worked for this movie rather well,our lead was also very convincing in his potreyal of a unstable man that does some wrong things but he thinks that is for better purpose and future of Poland,Hater is the best foreign film i saw entire year and i give it a big plus

I can't believe I hadn't heard or seen anything regarding this movie before. Great direction, great cinematography, great script, great performances.

Sometimes, some excellent movies go unnoticed due to being artistic or it just didn't connect with most audiences. But this film does not have those problems. I guess sometimes, unfortunately, it all comes down to luck.

Looking back, this definitely reminds me of peak House of Cards. The morally deplorable protagonist, the manipulation, the gradual descent, the political commentary. The only thing missing are the fourth wall breaks.

It genuinely baffles how some similar inferior films get more attention and praise than this one. A very well hidden gem that will make sure more people hear about.

I watched this Polish thriller today without reading any reviews or having any expectations... and I loved it!

The overall atmosphere is Parasite meets Nightcrawler (but the plot is quite different), with a pretty scary take on how misinformation is spread online and just how much influence social media has on politics. It is also very much about the division between social classes and the desire to belong. Far-right wing politics (very much alive and well in Poland and its neighboring countries) is seen more as a means to an end.

The acting, script and cinematography were brilliant. If you are into anti-hero sagas or just want to watch a good thriller, I recommend this movie.

Tomasz is anti-hero you can't mess with. It is a manipulative, thrilling and a complex movie that matches our current environment. Tackles society and politics on how bleak it is. This film indeed a compelling movie from the trailer to the film itself. The team did a smart approach on telling how social media manipulates people. It is convincing but at some point but a tragic one. This movie proves how man can possess power using just a laptop. This is like a modern "Lord of the Flies" story that need more viewing and deserves more audiences. Consider this a masterpiece

I like how the cinematic toning is done. It has same technique and atmosphere as David Fincher's film. The tension matches the music.
