Duobeje

The acting is truly exceptional, especially the main character's emotional struggle between hope and despair, which allows the viewer to live through each moment with him. Every scene feels authentic, from the carefully portrayed challenges of nature to the human ingenuity and will to survive.

The cinematography is simply stunning. The beauty of the wilderness perfectly contrasts with its brutality, and the camera work is so immersive that it's hard to look away. The director skillfully creates an atmosphere where even moments of silence are just as important as the action scenes, further intensifying the sense of isolation and danger.

A gripping and intense survival film, this movie delivers on all fronts, offering viewers a thrilling and immersive experience from start to finish. The storyline, while unconventional, keeps you on the edge of your seat with its unexpected twists and emotional depth. The film isn't afraid to tackle difficult themes, and it does so with a sensitivity that adds complexity to the characters.

The performances were impressive, with Ainis Storpirstis giving a standout performance as the main character, embodying resilience and vulnerability in equal measure. The supporting cast also brought nuance and energy to the screen, each adding a layer of authenticity to the story.

Especially I LOVED that the survival aspect was not just about physical endurance, but about the emotional and psychological journey of the characters, which made it all the more compelling.

Overall, the movie masterfully balanced intense action with deep, thought-provoking themes, leaving the audience both entertained and moved.

I really reccomend to watch :)

"Duobeje" captivated me from the very beginning with its intense atmosphere and dramatic tension. Ruslan Abdulajev has masterfully crafted a film where suspense continually builds and the sense of threat is palpable at every turn. The way the narrative unfolds keeps you on edge, with each scene adding to the mounting pressure. Vytautas Kaniusonis and Ainis Storpirstis delivered exceptionally convincing performances, bringing both realism and emotional depth to the story. Their portrayals enhanced the film's impact, making the experience even more immersive. This was my first encounter with a Lithuanian survival genre film, and it left a profound impression on me. The combination of gripping suspense and strong performances makes this film a standout. If you are seeking something new that will keep you captivated and on edge until the very end, I highly recommend giving this film a watch.

The film is good and it's good again! I wonder what kind of intelligence people have been ziurejo who are commenting here that this is the worst Lithuanian film. Apparently only those who are deceived by the dumb Lithuanians comedies , where there is no morality, no context, no acting. And that's all there is. There's a detail that could have been done better- the better camera movement, the corners, the second-rate actor's acting sloppy, but overall, both the idea and the stint were pleasantly surprised. Tension holds until the last minutes. Truth be told, I'm even so tired a little bit because it's certainly been almost all the time. I hope that the film will be noticed by the foreign audience, because apparently according to the rating such films are not for the Lithuanians.

So, if you want an honest review - here is one. All that are below are 2 extreme sides. The negative comments look like coming from exact same group with similar rhetoric :) do not bring down your own people. Support them when they are trying to do something.

Well

To start with, we should acknowledge that it's not Hollywood and as a foreigner I was pleasantly surprised from Lithuanian filmography. I will be honest, my expectations were not super high, however I have watched the film with interest, it keeps you on, it professionally passes the feelings that the main actor goes through. The actor who played the uncle was my favourite. So handsome and so talented!! I will be waiting for the second part :)
