Where We Disappear

First of all the sand painting in the opening is super, please don't miss it. The story of women in a Soviet Gulag. The balance of power shifts back and forth. Who is the leader and why ? The misery of the gulag is tremendous, the abuse is constant. The ending could very easily be interpreted in several ways and your interpretation will tell much about yourself. I enjoyed it, I had some doubts but it was a fast enough pace that the misery portrayed didn't overwhelm me

I found this film as a fan of Katharine Isabelle's. Katharine plays a prisoner in this bunkhouse with several other women who all seem to be tied to one another in a way the film slowly unravels. It's the kind of film that you want to rewatch and talk with someone about because of the psychological parts to it. Know what you're getting into and you'll be intrigued by the characters and their struggle. It's an art film, not an action. It's contained, got moments of excellent tension, touching music, etc but it's not your classic Hollywood thriller.

If you like movies like The LIghthouse, I'd say check it out.

Can I rate this with zero Bad plot weak Storyline no actually that's a stage play but not a good one though.. Simply don't wast your time

I'd read and discussed quite a bit about the Gulag in college history classes, but this movie made those experiences come alive in a way that reading about couldn't. A tough movie to watch, but one I thought about for a long time afterward.

I stumbled across this film while searching for something short to watch - 1 hour 13 mins is just right for my bath & iPad session!

I've never done a review - had to reset my password a few times to get back into IMDB & I'm not a crazy film buff so beware this is basic.

The graphics at the beginning were absolutely mesmerising, they told a story before it began. And it had me gripped all the way through - it's a bit of a burner and made my head swim a few times with questions, personally I like that in a film.

Very few actors, but a lot going on, and in the whole the characters were believable. Sad story, this film won't make you smile but it will make you think, there are layers if you want to see them.

Have to say the ending did twist my melon a bit, I guess it's interpretation.

Totally recommend, just watch it.
