  Qas 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 01 Dec 2022

  Happy to see our local film scene evolve.

  You can clearly see that this movie was created by a music video director. I saw a lot of tricks he used in his previous works, especially with Maslo Chernogo Tmina. All in all, the cinematography was amazing — it was a really interesting and unique addition (or i should say rather an instrument) to the storytelling. 

  
  Props to you, Aisultan! Qutti Bolsyn!

  I have never experienced so many different emotions in one sitting, wow!

  this film is an essence of cinema and what it’s supposed to be. it made us laugh, question life, cringe, cry, entertain, thrill, scare, amuse - everything, everywhere, all at once.
