I am not particularly familiar with the cinema of Belarus, but this year two interesting films of their production were released - "Forbidden Zone" and the Spice Boyz itself. I don’t really want to talk about the first one, because I didn’t like the film (by the way, Golovin is also in the lead role), but it would be sinful not to talk about the second one, because I liked it very much. What is important here is what you will initially expect from the painting. If you are waiting to see a social drama / thriller about the dangers of drugs, and only these genres are indicated on the same KP, then I advise you to pass by. Revisit Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream. "Spice Boys" although in the end carries an important message about the dangers of drugs, but does not pull on a serious drama at all. There is no smell of some deep disclosure of the characters in order to cause the viewer sympathy. There are no attempts to show this story in the most serious ways. The film takes quite a long time to accelerate, but due to live characters, funny dialogues with references to pop culture and memes (a la "For you and for Sasha!"), and in principle a cheerful and believable household woman, it looks very easy. And now, after an hour of timekeeping on the viewer, the good old thrash, sodomy, and sodomy fall down like they do! A fierce parish with all the accompanying, black humor, cheerful sound, dismembered. As a youth comedy slasher, the film works 100%. And if you initially expect this from the picture, then you will most likely like it. Very pleasant surprise from the Belarusians. I always support filmmakers trying to do something unconventional. And here is not even an attempt, but an excellent final product in such a non-standard genre for the post-Soviet space. So I just can't help but throw an extra point: 9/10
