Duobeje

Not much to say here, but movie which was supposed to bring intensity, fear and everything associated with survival movies made me laugh throughout entire film.

Random story line, casuall rascism, r*pe ( which was super not needed (as 80% of characters in the film).

Logical issues, terrible acting from most of the actors except the main actor Ainis Storpirstis.

Movie had no idea, it lacked some sort of action about the main character ( who btw was doing everything except trying to survive).

Movie was so bad that most people in the cinema started laughing, cringing and talking because the director of this move had no idea how to captivate audience.

Terrible move 1/10.

"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.

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 :)

A gripping and intense survival film, this movie delivers on all fronts, offering viewers a thrilling and immersive experience from start to finish. The storyline, while unconventional, keeps you on the edge of your seat with its unexpected twists and emotional depth. The film isn't afraid to tackle difficult themes, and it does so with a sensitivity that adds complexity to the characters.

The performances were impressive, with Ainis Storpirstis giving a standout performance as the main character, embodying resilience and vulnerability in equal measure. The supporting cast also brought nuance and energy to the screen, each adding a layer of authenticity to the story.

Especially I LOVED that the survival aspect was not just about physical endurance, but about the emotional and psychological journey of the characters, which made it all the more compelling.

Overall, the movie masterfully balanced intense action with deep, thought-provoking themes, leaving the audience both entertained and moved.

I really reccomend to 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.
