Dovbush - Warrior of the Black Mountain

This film is a testament to practical filmmaking, with a small (~USD$4m, 2018) budget, the talented filmmakers created amazing scenes, sets, costumes, and action scenes that kept me eagerly waiting for what's next.

The action was incredibly well choreographed and executed, and not to mention just downright fun to watch.

The practical effects were simple, well executed, and incredibly effective. I couldn't find any obvious CGI, and I was just blown away by the action scenes.

The chemistry of the actors was perfect and the performances were all top notch.

I was honestly surprised with how funny it was. The dialogue was often hilarious, and most jokes translated very well into English.

I watched this with someone fluent in Ukrainian, and they said the subtitle translations were very well done. I often find subtitles aren't translated properly and it can distract, but it was very well done.

I'd wager, it's a film that will put Ukrainian filmmaking onto the map.

SLAVA UKRAINI!
