Black and black. I don’t know why people say that Russians can’t make movies. We all know how to do it. Let's get this straight.
It seems like an ordinary family drama: passion passes, feelings fade, the couple is going to divorce. On the eve of their birthday, their underage daughter suddenly disappears. Soon, desperate parents do everything to find their missing daughter.
The beginning of the film, of course, very incomprehensible and frightening, sets the mood for the whole film. Even a little echoes what is happening inside the main characters: everything is mixed, nothing is clear, some strange despair and even tension that does not let go of the souls of poor parents. At first, you don’t really understand what’s going on in this movie. You are stressed by the surroundings of the girl, you can literally feel that something is wrong here. You are afraid with her because you understand her and the situation she is in. Until the end, we don’t know what happened. Because of this, perhaps, some tension passes, it becomes a little boring to watch the lives of parents. There's no drive that doesn't let you go all the time. Sometimes, of course, the movie catches your attention again, but sometimes you still catch yourself checking your phone.
Then the tension returns: the father decides to figure it out on his own. I don’t know if he would have done anything if he hadn’t done what he did. In general, I am very against lynching, I do not like spilling excess blood, but here you really think that it was necessary.
It is amazing what people are capable of in times of despair. What they do, what they do, whether they lose their humanity or remain human to the end.
But in this movie, I'm happy with the ending. There is no need to shed blood.
Let me tell you about the technical side of the film. The film itself is billed as a drama and psychological film. I agree with the drama, but not with the psychological. Still, it's a bit boring in the middle, the tension is letting go, personally I don't see any aspects of the psychological thriller here. The plot is not new, although the actors played it wonderfully, although I did not understand why the characters speak different languages. The wife speaks Russian, the husband answers her in another language, it is very incomprehensible. You either all speak Russian or remove it altogether.
Special thanks to the operators, the picture came out just at the top.
The music in the film is for an amateur, although for the Husky also a special thank you.
However, the film itself is also an amateur. I don't know if I'd recommend him. Yes rather than not, and only because I was happy with the ending. Seriously, it's so easy. Thank you.
