Cracking with the electrifying potential of a forbidden attraction, this often bleak film will warm you with the energy bound up in those first stolen kisses, the thrill of first furtive glances at a hot rippling body, the shuddering tingle of a first touch. If you let it, Skyscrapers will carry you away in its slowly building rhythm, the asymmetry of the lead character's life jolting you as he tries to reconcile the fire of his desires with the cold harshness of his reality. The haters in these reviews seem to forget that not everyone lives the experience of a comfortable, well adjusted middle class life. This film is no anachronism, nor is it throwback; ugliness still abounds in our world, and this film is a reminder that everyone deserves the freedom to find beauty.
There were a few things that bothered me about this movie 1. Public sex in a homophobic environment. 2. Didnt really see the connection with the two gay lovers. 3. So i think that the twist with her being pregnant is poetic. I mean kuba had been pretending to be straight for two years. Kuba is a coward and what woman accepts that and tries to change him. 4. The ending was so abrupt and no closure i feel like the story was left hanging. Free fall was a masterpiece compared to this what was the point?
Acting is good. Casting is good. Cinematography is Good. Everything seems to be good. It's just that the story line itself makes no sense. It will will keep you hanging and will haunt you forever. Also, I don't see the connection between the 2 lead male characters. It seems that they only enjoy each others company. More of a lust than love. And the ending. Tsss. Disappointing, heartbreaking and sad.
Apparently "Floating Skyscrapers" is Poland's first 'in-your-face' gay feature. It's a particularly glum affair that will almost certainly not make you glad to be gay in Poland and which only goes to reinforce the stereotype that most Polish men are heterosexual boors who might enjoying screwing around with someone of the same sex so long as no-one knows about it and there is no real commitment. Well, maybe not since one half of the couple on display is a sensitive soul and boy, does he suffer for it. There is a fair bit of nudity, both male and female, (our hero has a girlfriend), and a lot of anguished soul-searching. What there isn't is much in the way of uplift. In other words, this is the kind of film that queer cinema ditched a long time ago. I found it painful to watch.

People from outside the Eastern European Block don't understand that this contradicting reality is the truth. I know because they doubted my stories from Romania when I was forced to wake up at 5-6AM and wait in line for 1-2 hours to get 2 kg of milk during the 70's and the 80's. I had no reason to lie because I was making a good living in Toronto for decades and I needed no sympathy for my early life. The critics' approach looks pretentious and arrogant to me. I know why they think this way but they shouldn't judge what they don't understand. This is the reality today in Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, etc and even worst in Russia. Romanians got stoned during the gay pride in recent years and this is impossible to digest by the ignorant Americans. Nothing is new in this world and the story was told before. The idea of the movie was to show people discovering their true identity, the struggle and the beauty/ugliness in their relationships. A unique experience in one's life, if you are lucky, that gives clarity. Otherwise, it's just meaningless living. I think it was captured brilliantly, despite the unqualified critics and minor flows. This movie is only for the people that accept the complexity of the human nature. Period.
