Surprisingly low rating for this film (3,7 as of this date) somehow mirrors current people's emotions in Poland and our election polls. Still it's a very good and daring film in my opinion, brilliantly although not super accuretely portraying Polish politics, media landscape and country's dominant rhetorical mode. The acting is top-notch. I was especially impressed by Antoni Królikowski, Zbigniew Zamachowski and Marcin Bosak in a smaller role playing someone who resembles todays Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.

I think in the not so distant future the film will be either "blacklisted" and forgotten or it'll become a cult classic.

The whole thing is just like watching TV news about a bunch of politicians - for 135 minutes. You know the story. You've seen the faces. It's not funny. It's not revealing. There's nothing in the film that you don't already know. I gave it 2 stars because I laughed once.

For the first time in years, we walked out of the cinema. It's not a movie - it's a political attack of a worst kind. There's no plot, no story - just re-telling of news reports from the last few years in Poland. One star for some smashing performances of lead Polish actors and actresses but the whole thing is not worth the time. (As a disclosure - I don't support Polish PiS government, so I really wanted to like the movie.)

Vega has once again made a hype next to his new work, come ashamed to call this crease a work, but nevertheless there will be people who will like this film because of its stupidity. The actors played as if someone with a weapon stood behind the camera, stiffly without imagination and hopelessly, in my opinion the actors are wasting their potential on Vega films. The pictures are taken by a cameraman on a hangover, the shots are poor, no nice shots, the author of the photos went easy and took pictures for crowds, for whom this cinema is a genius of a genius. The film is a complete failure especially by the director and the script written in a very simple and silly way.

This movie was a thoroughly entertaining spoof of the PiS party, a certain church leader, and the PO. The several chapters definitely leaned towards the PiS caricatures. Unbalanced? Perhaps, but since PiS has been in control of the government in Poland for years, they obviously would be able to do more that would be worthy of spoofing and mocking. It would have been funnier if it wasn't based on real people who have done real damage to Poland.

It was disappointing to see all the other bad reviews which were obviously written by PiS supporters. Based on how little they actually wrote, I wonder if any actually even saw the movie.
