Review of Lost Country

Lost Country (I) (2023)
3/10
Disappointment wrapped in quality scenery
7 December 2023
Scenery and sets, the details and camera work, are on spot, but the movie is riddled with problems.

There is a lack of motivation found in every single character.

The sound is non-existent, when it's not a simplistic radio news show invading the scenes but missing the point and stating the obvious creating a fake documentary vibe.

The lines are crude and feel lifeless, as if an asocial academic is struggling to patch up sentences that a nurse, a student and a retired communist official would say in a bar.

And don't get me started with the awful acting of supporting actors - it's so awful that it gets ridiculous.

There are some long scenes of people walking and looking around that make you reach for your phone to check how much do you have to wait before leaving the cinema.

Nice try, a couple of old actors are experienced heavy weights, but overall a miss.
