Sala samobójców

To be honest, I hesitated to go to the cinema because I was afraid that it's just another overrated (by media only) Polish film. However, I am very glad to announce that this film is REALLY worth being seen! Apart from an amazing performance of Jakub Gierszał and Agata Kulesza, you can admire excellent special effects together with well-written dialogs. Even though the idea of animation which is presented in the film may put somebody off, it should be pointed out that it actually fits perfectly well into the picture. 'Sala samobójców' shows the rules which are brought to life in modern world and leaves it to the audience to decide whether we should apply them in our own lives. I would recommend this film to everybody who is mature enough to appreciate its beauty and depth. For me, it was a real treat. Enjoy!

This movie is nothing but life changing to me. I have severe depression and I've had it for about a year and a half. Over time it got worse and worse. A couple months ago I started wanting nothing more than to die. I wanted to feel so much pain on the outside, so I didn't have to concentrate on the pain that goes on inside me in which my mind brings me. I didn't want to live in a world where there's so much evil, hatred, and betrayal, and who does? If you watch the news you see there's more and more murders, house fires, kidnappings, raping, bombings, terrorist attacks, etc. To our society, it's not uncommon anymore to hear about these things. Now we don't even feel devastated or torn apart every time we have to hear about these things occurring. But if it's happening to you, it's a whole different story. So many people only care about themselves and their family that they don't take the time or effort in helping others in need. If anyone sees this comment I want to tell you please think about how you treat and act towards others. This world needs a big change. Before I die I want to say that I've helped at least one person get out of depression. That's why this movie changed my life. I wanted to die because I didn't want to have to witness all of this evil and betrayal. Of course there were many other reasons why I wanted to end my life but that's not important right now. The point is this movie made me, and hopefully many others, realize that I don't really want to kill myself. There's so much more to life than you think. The way this movie changed me is incredible. I recommend that anyone with depression or thoughts of suicide watch this movie.

I admit having read about the movie prior to watching it, and which brings me to say that the Wikipedia article of it is inaccurate. A low budget movie, but undeniably a good one; I feel that it hasn't been a story dramatic enough, while paradoxically I think that, much have been subtly underlie-d, which may either make it a movie about a guy who who couldn't take it, or about a guy, who is like many of us, or at least shares intrinsic aspects of ourselves, and who couldn't take it despite that he wanted to. A very fine actor, I was nearly convinced that I was watching something/one real, something/one that is actually happening/actually lived and died - it/he had me engrossed. Uhm. 4.8/5

Ohhhh my glorious king Dominik Santorski I gotta say, I'm head over heels for Dominik. I mean, who wouldn't fall for a guy who can rock a hoodie and headphones like he's in a fashion show? He's got that brooding, mysterious vibe down to a science, and his virtual world adventures? It's like he's living in the ultimate video game. Plus, anyone who can emote so intensely through a screen has my heart. He's the perfect mix of emo and genius-like a moody Einstein. And let's not forget his artistic soul, which is just the cherry on top. He's like a digital knight, battling trolls and collecting emotional baggage. Seriously, his resilience and ability to make existential angst look good are just impressive. Who doesn't love a guy who can turn brooding into an art form?

This is actually a very emo movie but also very impactful on as well. It shows how sometimes even if some people might look, act alright and fine and dandy but deep inside there can be darkness and pain. This movie portrays what a lot of teens and even adults go through when reality becomes way to difficult to bear. They enter a virtual world, away from reality. I like movies of this sort, in fact this one sort of reminded me of a film called "The Chumscrubber" which is another movie about how reality and virtual reality intertwine in a teens mind. While facing inner personal thoughts and inner demons. This movie is actually executed pretty well when it comes to showing the pain of a emo kid, although it can get annoying sometimes. Slight aspects or parts of it I think some people can maybe relate with. The performances from the cast is raw and real most of the time which really does add to a movie like this. The plot is about a overly sensitive and emotional teenage boy that gets humiliated at school. And despite coming from a very proper lifestyle and rich and successful parents. He feels neglected and goes through emotional instability because he feels that no one understands him. And thus dives into a virtual chat room called the Suicide Room. Which is a group where other emotionally damaged, recluse and secluded people come together in order to make a suicide pact. In another words, it's probably the worst group of people to get involved with. But he feels that this group is the only people that understands him and thus goes very far into the virtual world with them. This is a thoroughly emotionally driven movie, that is slow at times but haunting and compelling at the same time. And the ending leaves a impact and will probably stick with the audiences.

7.6/10
