Duobeje

So, if you want an honest review - here is one. All that are below are 2 extreme sides. The negative comments look like coming from exact same group with similar rhetoric :) do not bring down your own people. Support them when they are trying to do something.

Well

To start with, we should acknowledge that it's not Hollywood and as a foreigner I was pleasantly surprised from Lithuanian filmography. I will be honest, my expectations were not super high, however I have watched the film with interest, it keeps you on, it professionally passes the feelings that the main actor goes through. The actor who played the uncle was my favourite. So handsome and so talented!! I will be waiting for the second part :)

"Duobeje" captivated me from the very beginning with its intense atmosphere and dramatic tension. Ruslan Abdulajev has masterfully crafted a film where suspense continually builds and the sense of threat is palpable at every turn. The way the narrative unfolds keeps you on edge, with each scene adding to the mounting pressure. Vytautas Kaniusonis and Ainis Storpirstis delivered exceptionally convincing performances, bringing both realism and emotional depth to the story. Their portrayals enhanced the film's impact, making the experience even more immersive. This was my first encounter with a Lithuanian survival genre film, and it left a profound impression on me. The combination of gripping suspense and strong performances makes this film a standout. If you are seeking something new that will keep you captivated and on edge until the very end, I highly recommend giving this film a watch.

Duobeje is an ambitious movie that succeeds in creating an atmospheric experience but struggles to deliver a fully satisfying narrative. The cinematography is undeniably stunning-each frame feels meticulously crafted, with moody lighting and symbolic imagery that pull you into its melancholic world.

The performances are solid, particularly from the lead actors, who bring subtle emotion to roles that often feel underwritten. The film explores themes of isolation and identity, but its pacing can be slow, and at times it leans too heavily on ambiguity without offering enough payoff.

While Duobeje is admirable for its artistic intent and aesthetic, it left me wanting more in terms of character development and emotional connection. It's the kind of film that may resonate deeply with some viewers, but for others, it might feel more like a beautiful puzzle missing a few crucial pieces.

The film is good and it's good again! I wonder what kind of intelligence people have been ziurejo who are commenting here that this is the worst Lithuanian film. Apparently only those who are deceived by the dumb Lithuanians comedies , where there is no morality, no context, no acting. And that's all there is. There's a detail that could have been done better- the better camera movement, the corners, the second-rate actor's acting sloppy, but overall, both the idea and the stint were pleasantly surprised. Tension holds until the last minutes. Truth be told, I'm even so tired a little bit because it's certainly been almost all the time. I hope that the film will be noticed by the foreign audience, because apparently according to the rating such films are not for the Lithuanians.

In fact, it was very surprising. Not only the plot, but also the acting of the actors, the plot twists, the thought itself. Finally, you can see something else in the lithuanian work. I think it wasn't appreciated by The Lithuanian audience, and here these pieces of Malinauskas Fools' Guard, I watched all this nonsense, when the rating of the film fell to 1.3 per day. Absurdity. Lithuanians, as always, turn out to be all the more beautiful, not that they are driving it, because they are jealous.

Going back to the film, Kanyushoni is a wonderful actor and I think he's revealed himself the most as an actor and all his roles.

Ainis perfectly fulfilled everything emotionally. I wonder if there will be a second part, because the ending surprised. Orginal. Congratulations to the developers.
