Three Days in September

The plot has a lot of potential but the rhythm and the direction overall is very poor.

Two strangers meet on a train and the plot unfolds with enough twists to mske an interesting movie. However the direction is terrible.

Two strangers of opposite nature meet on a train and strike up an unusual alliance - this time-tested formula generally goes wrong these days but can still be used well in the hands of a decent storyteller. It goes in favor of the film that writer-director Darijan Pejovski does not aspire to do too much out of this predictable, contrived story filled with plot holes. He simply tells it with enough conviction, focusing more on building the drama and the relationship between its two protagonists, throwing in just the required amount of feminist idealism and political pessimism to make the viewers overlook its other flaws. Few euro-glum film can ever work without actors that can decently play characters like a cold determined stiff-lip woman, a corrupt lecherous cop and a prostitute with a heart of gold. In this film as well, these roles were played convincingly enough. Oh, and the sweet, wise, drunk babuska character always works in any film. Forgettable, but while you're watching this film you won't feel you're wasting your time.

Interesting feminist drama from Macedonia. Not usual, thanks to Amazon Prime for this character study, not for all audiences though. Good acting. You can feel empathy for those two characters, lost women. A very subtle.philosophical story, if you are careful to the dialogues. Of this more psychological than action drama. Worth seeing.
