Ukryta siec (2023)

The hidden web

This was an interesting film that could have benefitted from better pacing.

Magdalena Kolesnik was strong and believable in the lead role as Julita, a journalist who uncovered the dark truth behind the death of a TV presenter.

It dealt well with the modern issue of intimate images/video of women being leaked online and the victim effectively being blamed/shamed through no fault of their own.

The urban setting added to the dark mood, though, for me, the films plot needed fleshed out much more.

Julita was a good, well acted, character, however the film spent most of its time on her, and not enough time on the conspiracy/mystery which then felt rushed and poorly developed.

Not a bad film, but it tried to cover too many themes and ultimately lost focus as a result.
