Posledice

I saw it as a film about parenthood and the lost of connections between family members. In same measure , as the fall of the prestige of teachers. Not the less, as realistic portrait of a teenager life, reduced as a sort of deep loneliness by parents,social system , society. Two details are real significant for me- the refuge in the yard of kinder garden and the return of money to the Gipsy family. Short, a heardbreaker film about deep loneliness.

The characters are real bad, but they are not repulsive. In fact, I connect with them and feel for them. The story is good. I wish the film was longer. The ending just leaves me wanting more.

A film that just gets better and better as it goes along. Acting, directing, story all superb. We don't see many movies from Slovenia, that's a pity if this is their standard. And Matej Zemljic in lead role - is in every scene, a powerhouse performance. (Directed & written by Darko Stante)

This is a bleak movie. I don't know why I didn't realise that when I saw the title. I thought it was gonna be like a gay drama, it's not!

It takes risks that are very tricky to pull off and I'm not 100% sure it does. Making the majority of the leads horrible people is tough, it makes you unable to root for them. They try and counter act this with our main lead but I think they needed to develop him a little bit more at the start, this would have endeared us to him a little more.

The end is quite a gut punch tho and it does kinda frame the movie a little bit different for me. It's just such a helpless and dark movie. Super super depressing but definitely watchable.

The acting was probably the best part of the movie, consistently above average throughout the film. The plot was not mind blowing but it kept the feeling of the movie relatable which I think had a better overall impact for what the director was going for.

I do recommend watching this because it provides insight into Slavic youth culture and the barriers, hurdles they are facing in these times.
