User Reviews

One Of the greatest georgian films ever

The Best Georgian film For last years, it's so difficult nowadays in georgia to make good film with good synopsis and visually too, but "the Other bank" is the one of the first in 2000's georgian cinema , that you can watch and then maybe cry to , everything is awesome, plot very interesting , director at his top, an very good acting too, i've listened the story of the main character boy, i mean "tedo" he even didn't know what does it mean Film Director, and why does he say what to do , but his acting is awesome, he's only 11 years old here and much better than many georgian actors, and the final scene is so good with many comtroverses, so i can say only one thing about Gagma Napiri , nearly Perfect, Great Movie
