Konsequenzen

I saw it as a film about parenthood and the lost of connections between family members. In same measure , as the fall of the prestige of teachers. Not the less, as realistic portrait of a teenager life, reduced as a sort of deep loneliness by parents,social system , society. Two details are real significant for me- the refuge in the yard of kinder garden and the return of money to the Gipsy family. Short, a heardbreaker film about deep loneliness.

Excellent film on youth detention center . Brutal and powerful. Matej Zemljic gives an incredible performance as a tormented young man trying to find his way in life. The director keeps things tense and involving and it is a remarkable character study of conflicted youth. Saw this at TIFF 2018 and was blown away. Congrats to all, especially Matej who gave a breakout performance!

This is a bleak movie. I don't know why I didn't realise that when I saw the title. I thought it was gonna be like a gay drama, it's not!

It takes risks that are very tricky to pull off and I'm not 100% sure it does. Making the majority of the leads horrible people is tough, it makes you unable to root for them. They try and counter act this with our main lead but I think they needed to develop him a little bit more at the start, this would have endeared us to him a little more.

The end is quite a gut punch tho and it does kinda frame the movie a little bit different for me. It's just such a helpless and dark movie. Super super depressing but definitely watchable.

The first opinion I have on the movie is that it has not many clichés in it, which is something you usually see, and it surprised me for not having too many. I usually don't mind clichés and I even hoped for some more in this movie, but I did appreciate the lack of it nonetheless.

The movie portrays the severe and brutal reality of the still very present mindset in the Balkans, which includes toxic masculinity, delinquency, drug-abuse and homophobia, and which can have especially dark consequences for LGBTQ+ youth in these countries. Heartbreaking, heavy and at times very hard to watch, but unfortunately a story which is real life for many young adults.
