We Will Riot

While I love the idea of a gay film from Lithuania and it was exciting to see such a film, it really wasn't well executed. Not much of a story in any sense and not amazing acting either. Still I think it is a great start to hopefully more gay films to come from Lithuania. The topics of racism, homophobia, interracial relationships are interesting especially set in Lithuania but needs to be done better. There were some rather big errors to me. Such as why would a Lithuanian person born in America still have such a hard time with English? Impossible. Not to mention why would he change planes on his way to Moscow in Lithuania? Also not possible. You would change planes in Moscow going to Vilnius, Moscow is a far bigger hub coming from beyond Europe.

This quote describes me the best after watching this movie. I don't know Romas Zabarauskas personally but what he did is very brave! Brave and nice for victims of homophobia, racism. Hope it gonna be good example to be brave for more people in Lithuania and other counties in the world supporting young Director!

Highly recommend to watch this movie as it absolutely different for me as I seen before!

An utterly pointless exercise in film making that looks like a woeful student project with virtually no redeeming qualities. It is amazing to me that the producers found the funding for this folly. But, I guess they peddled the project as something other than what it turned out to be -- a worm's eye view of Vilnius designed more for shock value than anything else. Sadly, it wasn't even that shocking.

It was just plain dumb. Starting with an inert script where a mixed- race black kid comes to Vilnius looking for the grandmother he never met, and then immediately finds himself thrust into the busy nightlife of the city, managing a municipal-funded night club, only to find it is all just a cover for a sinister plot. Acting was even more awful, looking like the producer just took whatever kids at the night clubs, but then they didn't have much to go on.

Obviously its time to wake up and realize that director / writer is completely devoid of talent. All too theatrical. Dialogues dry and reminds ping-pong. Some lame theater scene. It is hard to believe that someone let this on the tape. It feels like a day before filming all have abused Rohypnol. Complete idiocy. Forgive mistakes? Why mock the viewers? And shooting full-length? A man who will say that everything is okay with the film is completely our of his mind. When a person does not feel he has no talent for direction and further dulls the surroundings, something to step up and say it loud. Time to wake up, because the movie is complete diarrhea.

The first thing that made me fancy the film was the modern look, the quality, the sound and especially the soundtrack of the overall film. It really accurately encompasses Eastern European country issues, which are shown in this film. Some out-of-the-ordinary situations, which are usually ignored by the local people and even provoking to them: racism, sexism, homophobia, corruption to some extent. It also describes American fighter spirit, which long-term oppressed Eastern Europeans often lack and inspires leadership, standing up for yourself, recovering from the self-influenced fears and criticism. It really shows all of the above things from a very positive and beautiful perspective. Loved it!
