Unique atmosphere

The movie has a very unique atmosphere with its constantly reflected city shots, the colors are also greatly reflect to the emotions that are happening. The acts are also great and totally believeable (however Zsófi Bujáki did some overacting at some points). The camera movements and the images are also greatly composed. The sound effects and the used music are also carefully selected, they were pretty impressive. The story had its strengths and weaknesses, but all in all, it is a great crime story, a great thriller.

Could have been better

What's with the upside-down shots in every 5 minutes? The soundtrack is lame (typical eastern european mistake). The heroin's migrane or whatever was annoying. But besides that, it was a decent european flick.

Best Hungarian thriller so far

This is the best Hungarian thriller I've seen so far. The acting is overall great, especially the lead actor, who brilliantly portrays a single mother working against a corrupt system. The gastlighting in the movie is so apparent, even those who aren't well-versed in gender studies can see it. Also, the cinematography is on point showing how the world turned upside down. This movie is a dystopia, but it contains social critism as well.

Engaging and engrossing thriller with superb acting

Chose this randomly on Prime and was really taken aback by how good it was. On one level its a police procedural that is interesting and different as it is set in Budapest. But on another level it's a fantastic social drama with vivid but believable characters.

The lead actress is phenomenal but all of the supports are good too. I won't say anything more as I don't want to give even a hint of a spoiler, except to say that he camerawork is outstanding: you cannot take your eyes off of the screen.

Not Nordic !! Just dark and miserable !!

This is shot in the typical way Nordic films are and includes the usual miserable woman with problems. Shot very grey there's hardly a moment of light to bring you out from the sheer gloom ! Ultimately you won't like anyone or the story which really isn't . Find something enjoyable to do instead !
