    Berlinale 2025 was the best place for a cast and crew reunion screening. I may be biased, but the energy of the crowd made it so much fun!

    Best seen in the cinema with your friends and go out dancing and drinking after. We are all stepsisters 🥿

    🥱 spent way too much time explaining everything about the concept to me instead of just letting me enjoy the characters/story/world

    Wow! An amazing debut film at Berlinale. Yuri managed to bring together a Belarusian immigrant community in Warsaw who fully committed to the film. The direction shows an expert level of storytelling to reveal the human condition through a hyper-specific odyssey. Indie filmmaking at its best! Totally immersion from the crowd who laughed together at all the right moments of dry Slavic humor.

    Supremely entertaining and cathartic to watch the rich brought to their knees! But in the end, does the release of tension just allow us to continue on with the status quo? We will just keep smashing the ❤️ on Insta while shit sellers build oligopolies that support dictators who justify hand grenade sales.

    This was the movie of 2022 to see in a theater full of people. I enjoyed the screening in Göteborg with Ruben Östlund’s intro for the hometown crowd.
