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.

Only if you are hungry of Hungary

This is one more serial killer case but with a political and social element where it is evoked the Hungarian modern situation, around racism and political issues. You have the classic scheme of the investigator, here a woman, widow and mother of a disturbed teenage girl, a female police officer in total distress. Well, I don't crave for serial killer schemes, unless you already know who the killer is, and when you watch the police slowly but surely gets nearer and nearer, thanks to the clues and investigation details...That's for me the true suspense, as on a GPS map, you watch two bright points getting closer and closer. But when you don't know who the killer is, well, that's rather boring for me. Good directing and splendid camera work, Great aesthetic.

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.
