Featured reviews
First, this movie is pretty gritty and real. It's a drama about society, hate, love and social media. Not your Hollywood blockbuster.
Second,I think the story is pretty well developed and acting from most characters is amazing.
Last, the settings, music and FX'S are pretty cool too. So, overall a great thriller about social media, hate, love and death. Enjoy
It scared me. Be prepared to get slightly paranoid afterwards...
I am honestly still unsure what the message of the movie was:
Regarding the plot: There were some weaknesses in the beginning, I guess. The whole setting and everything seemed weird. However, after finishing the movie I assume it was meant to feel that way for a viewer. I am just pointing this out because one of my friends left, in the beginning while we watched it. It is somewhat sad, because the acting is great, the plotting is nicely played and the plot twists are on point. The only thing that I am irritated by is the last scene with his boss, because I would have expected from her to have bugs in her room which she maybe could activate by tapping somewhere on her table - as her security net. A recording of that conversation would have ruined his show... Oh well, overall a well done critic of our modern society!
I am honestly still unsure what the message of the movie was:
- Was it that these companies exist and we should proceed with caution with all information posted on Facebook?
- Or was it that there are very intelligent sociopaths out there who if you're unfortunate will destroy your life?
- Maybe it simply wanted to demonstrate that if you work hard enough, don't care about values/limits or anyone you'll get everything you wanted?

The Hater is a Polish film that shows and proved how easily some people can control media and used them against them to ruin their lifes,i will start with saying that this film is one of best one that i saw in entire year,of course i mean from new realeses and it suceeded with its powerful ,impactful and true message to many people,acting is also on point and one of best that i saw entire year,characters were only explored on surfuce but it worked for this movie rather well,our lead was also very convincing in his potreyal of a unstable man that does some wrong things but he thinks that is for better purpose and future of Poland,Hater is the best foreign film i saw entire year and i give it a big plus
I can't believe I hadn't heard or seen anything regarding this movie before. Great direction, great cinematography, great script, great performances.
Sometimes, some excellent movies go unnoticed due to being artistic or it just didn't connect with most audiences. But this film does not have those problems. I guess sometimes, unfortunately, it all comes down to luck.
Looking back, this definitely reminds me of peak House of Cards. The morally deplorable protagonist, the manipulation, the gradual descent, the political commentary. The only thing missing are the fourth wall breaks.
It genuinely baffles how some similar inferior films get more attention and praise than this one. A very well hidden gem that will make sure more people hear about.

The Hater - A- (Almost Perfect)
An important movie, which exams Scio/Psychopathic behaviour in youth along with sides effects of social media presence in backdrops of political unrest in the world. This seems a lot to handle in one film, but Jan Komasa masterfully handled these subject matters. The film never felt overburden by the issues it tries to examine.
Maciej Musialowski has given a star making performance as Tomasz. For viewers to understand his motives and even to sympathise due to pressures on youth in today's climate is an astounding feat of its own. The cast across the board is fantastic and as it was released on Netflix in Australia and I went in without knowing anything or watching any promos I was at an absolute awe of the movie.
This should shed light on our own behaviour of Hate we give through commenting and arguing with strangers online, and Hate we Receive for sharing our thoughts on issues important to us. Highly Recommended.
