When a woman with her brains disconnected... Typical melodrama, at its worst: women’s brains are completely disconnected, and guilt is inflated to the absolute. The fact that in the way of such women will necessarily appear brutal-alphonse-abuser - a matter, as they say, the technique and ingenuity of screenwriters. In this story, they did not even go far from the templates.
The girl Vita (Valentina Yelshanskaya) with a psyche broken in her youth by an unsuccessful first love (so she is always gloomy and suspicious) returns to her hometown and suddenly plunges into the pool of problems and unexpected fans. Three days turned into three years, during which she could not understand the men around her. Moreover, the audience not only understood who is who, but even tired of the stupidity of the actors. For bad melodrama, it is characteristic that the characters somewhere do not say anything, allegedly protecting each other, protecting and protecting from problems. Although the longer this happens, the deeper the misunderstanding and complexity. The tangle of misunderstanding and lies grows at the speed of a snowball. And the main Brutal-abuser borezes before his eyes, losing not only the understanding of the limits of what is permissible, but also the instinct of self-preservation. It is becoming increasingly difficult to withstand, especially against the background of the stupidity of the female part of the series. At the same time, screenwriters, increasing the pace of the narrative, from the usual Alphonse-abuser make almost a maniac, who is unclear why he so stubbornly achieves the main character, with whom he absolutely does not shine. In general, the further, the scarier. . .
Maybe to whip up the "atmosphere" heroes often go to the cemetery and for some reason mainly at night. This, by the way, is very often shown in modern cinema. Although night festivities in the parishes are absolutely not in the tradition of Orthodoxy. But in this nuance, our filmmakers imitate their foreign colleagues. As, however, in the coverage of the topic of "psychological" help. After all, in this place you can laugh loudly, the main character is a psychologist by training and is working on creating a shelter for victims of domestic violence. As they say, without comment - a reference to the title.
Acting work fully corresponds to the script request. The only one who really did a good job, giving out a lot of personal emotions, and causing an audience resonance is Kirill Novyshev, who played the role of an abuser - rightly say, negative characters are much more profitable than positive ones (especially if the latter are also very mentally slowed down) and there is really something to play here. . .
