La stanza dei suicidi

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

I've heard my friends talk about this movie a lot and I've always meant to see it.

Recently, I stumbled upon it online with excellent subtitles, so of course I had to watch it. And I'm glad I did!

I can relate with a lot of situations in the film and the acting was all so well done. It is quite a sad movie, so beware. (I was almost in tears.) I was drawn into it from the beginning and couldn't take my eyes off of the screen. It's definitely one I'm going to watch over and over.

Highly recommended!

I found this movie to be absolutely incredible, the acting was moving and so believable. Jakub Gierszal (Dominik Santorski) portrays what every teenager goes through at one point or another only he experiences what happens when no one asks the right questions or in this instance doesn't ask anything at all. It makes me sad to think that this is a reality for some and that the world around them have no idea what's happening. I urge everyone to see this movie and take note of the people around you, more often than not it's the ones that don't ask for help who need it the most. In my humble option I thought this movie brilliant and deserves more exposure than it got.

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!

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?
