Alain E @AlainE Jul 15 This is a very sincere look on the life of a contemporary Polish female influencer. Poland now doesn’t resemble the landscape we were seeing in Andrzej Wajda’s films. It’s a western type society and the heroine lives a life punctuated by Instagram posts highlighting exercise routines and occasional glimpses under the surface. She is not happy and the movie makes it abundantly clear, without condescension. Everything we see appears true. She interacts with her mother that she now sees rarely, an old classmate and even a stalker outside her apartment building. The whole thing is extremely well photographed. The script retains our attention for the duration. Although at some points the viewer feels an impending doom nothing catastrophic occurs. Her whole life is the tragedy.

Not a terrible effort but in the end it was a bit obvious as well as indulgent. Had some interesting scenes but overall confused and lacking direction.

It highlights the artificiality of such peoples public personas and what they may have to deal with but don't share with others . Its quite thought provoking and memorable. Its perhaps a little bleak but its not choc full of gory violence or similar, thankfully, though it won't appeal to many people for understandable reasons, so be aware of the main themes when/if deciding to watch this. I thought the main character was very well portrayed by Magdalena Kolesnik. I imagine there will be many films to come about such popular 'influencers' and what they may deal with as a result of their sudden/apparent rush to fame online. The plot takes some intriguing twists and it reminded me (if slightly) of Promising Young Woman about it, although I should say that the protagonist isn't expressly out for revenge as such. Its a film that ends, if anything, perhaps surprisingly quickly at the end but I'd say its a worthy watch, that didn't feel entirely (or overly) too over the top or exploitative, so yes I'd recommend this film.

Heartbreaking character study with some unexpectedly dark and sad themes, but leaving trace of hope in the end. Final scenes and the credit song - f-ing amazing.
