I believe Dorota Maslowska changed a generation with her early novels. I love her unique style, word play, humour, wit. And I love rap lyrics.
But I hated this movie.
I wasn't much impressed with the book "Other People" when it came out. Yes, it was an experiment, but unlike her debut novel, the form she chose did not justify the existence of the book.
Pretty much the same can be said for the movie.
The plot is shallow. The script is predictable. The actors didn't have a lot to work, even the main character remains an unexplored galaxy. So the execution does not help although Sonia Bohosiewicz gave it her best shot.
Thumbs up for the trigger warning in the beginning.
As for the rest: too little with almost endless possibilities. Even the photography is hardly imaginative, but maybe I'm expecting too much after watching "Euphoria" lately.
Here drugs and alcohol are also involved but it's not a shiny, colourful ride. It's a slow-burn in which the feeling of regret comes much too early.
