The Hidden Web

This was an interesting film that could have benefitted from better pacing.

Magdalena Kolesnik was strong and believable in the lead role as Julita, a journalist who uncovered the dark truth behind the death of a TV presenter.

It dealt well with the modern issue of intimate images/video of women being leaked online and the victim effectively being blamed/shamed through no fault of their own.

The urban setting added to the dark mood, though, for me, the films plot needed fleshed out much more.

Julita was a good, well acted, character, however the film spent most of its time on her, and not enough time on the conspiracy/mystery which then felt rushed and poorly developed.

Not a bad film, but it tried to cover too many themes and ultimately lost focus as a result.

Interesting, engaging with very good acting. Andrzej Seweryn, as always, is a class of his own! The film is worth recommending. The only shortcomings, in my subjective opinion, are certain moments in the movie that are intended to shock the viewer, and in my opinion, a bit too much is shown. Without giving spoilers, I'll only write that if you are sensitive, certain moments in the film may be disturbing for you. In the end, I will praise the cinematography of Tomasz Wozniczka, who, in my opinion, deserves praise for the very good work on shots somewhat in the style of The X-Files series. The main character annoys me a bit at times, but it's not related to the actress's performance; rather, the character gets on my nerves a bit. I'm curious if anyone else will share my opinion after watching!
