Sala samobójców. Hejter

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.

You need a few things to go your way, but if they do, and you have the tools of technology, then any amount of chaos can ensue and who knows what political outcomes might develop, there's certainly a few questionable one's around at the moment.

Refreshingly original, relevant and soon to be copied.

First, this movie is pretty gritty and real. It's a drama about society, hate, love and social media. Not your Hollywood blockbuster. Second,I think the story is pretty well developed and acting from most characters is amazing. Last, the settings, music and FX'S are pretty cool too. So, overall a great thriller about social media, hate, love and death. Enjoy

Well that is putting it mildly now isn't it? The answer is yes to that rhetorical question. The beginning is laying the foundation or at least tells us with what sort of individual we are dealing with. So it may not be the easiest sell for a main character (having empathy for him, all considering), but at least we know. Something that cannot be said about other characters in this.

And is is easy to be duped. With a mirror scene of the one we see at the beginning the movie gives us an evolution - or devolution I reckon. Not an easy movie to watch and very daring in a lot of regards. But human nature can be wicked. Interesting story no matter if or you agree with what is happening or not ...
