Into the Wind (2022) User Reviews

Good scenery but we've seen this before

[kigaiyuuto · 6/10 · 17 February 2022]

From the very first shot I know I'm getting a visual treat. Unique shots of water sports elevate the movie that's otherwise unremarkable.

Unfortunately almost anything that happens inside the hotel is blah. The main character is unlikeable and the romance is too insta but it's a common trope for a coming-of-age movie.

The music choice can be very cheesy at times but feels authentic to the setting, the ending is very Hollywood where everything is wrapped up nicely with a bow. Not a bad choice if you want a simple crowd-pleaser.

Boring version of Dirty Dancing

[evagemarat · 3/10 · 14 February 2022]

If the idea was to make the 2022 Polish version of Dirty Dancing, then I must say it's an epic fail. I'm trying hard to finish it off to be honest, and can't relate to anything or anyone in this film. Its premiere on Netflix coinciding with Valentine's day is another fiasco, sorry. Cannot but compare it with last year's Isi & Ossi, which was perfect for the occasion.

Anyway, I give it 3 stars and consider it as a generous review on my part.

I enjoyed it a lot

[soneagu · 10/10 · 10 February 2022]

I am not Polish, but I love to death Polish movies. This is not Andrzej Wajda, but it never intended to be a Wajda movie (not that I didn't enjoy this as much as The Maids of Wilko, or Ashes and Diamonds - in this order). The actors play very well, but the truth is that Sonia amazed me as she played her depressed character role very convincing, and that is not something you see every day. I enjoyed every second and every scene of it. I don't want to rediscover myself and the world in a movie, but to see real feelings on the screen, and no nonsense. It's a nice story, amazingly well played. I watch it every time I feel a little bit depressed. It helps a lot :) Thank you!

Chilling vibe

[matid-55987 · 9/10 · 12 February 2022]

I know it may be not an oscar movie but I really love this polish summer cliche' vibe. It never pretended to be something more than just a snapshot of episode of a girl from a rich family during her holidays after the most important exam in her life. I think this is a great reminder of how people can differ in theirs values and goals in life. How we can lead our lifes.

Despite rather mediocore actor skills I really enjoyed how relaxing and in the same way inspiring was the movie. Definitely this is the vibe of Hel Peninsula I remember and I would like to feel again, maybe this summer tho.

On the other hand it's rather hard to find any deeper meaning for this movie, but as i've said previously I take it as the plus of this movie. Linear scenario and chilling vibe, don't expect more and I think you will like this movie.

Love the music and the scenery!

Well executed, slow paced, great shots. A summer meditation. I really enjoyed the daughter-father relationship. A simple story , well told. The scenes with live music (Bitamina) makes me wanna go to the Hel Peninsula.

Enjoyable

Refreshingly Great Movie

[henaito · 9/10 · 11 April 2023]

The movie breathes fresh air into Streaming TV. Filmed in very picturesque locations, the movie pulls you into the a very real story that is not a rehash of other romantic movies.

The supporting actors and relaxed flow of the movie take you all the way to the upbeat ending of the over 1hr 40 min movie. This movie follow a long line of recent releases from Poland, and has a very personal and at the same time personable feel for the characters.

I also enjoy the contrast between the fast paces busy scenes and the slower dramatic elements that put you right into the emotional place that the director seemed to be aiming for.

I look forward to seeing more movies from Poland and from this director on streaming in the near future.

What a pleasant surprise

[redloveskools · 10/10 · 3 March 2022]

The cast has incredible chemistry. They are all extremely good looking which grabs your attention. The acting was very good. Loved it. I would definitely watch a part 2.

To the people saying the story has been done before, please what hasn't been done and redone. This is a refreshing love story. Cheers to the cast, loved every minute.

Fresh and fun!

[jodyscott31 · 10/10 · 9 May 2022]

I really liked this romance. It was not your typical clichéd rich private school girl falls for rugged working not-rich boy. There were some deeper character developments going on that added more depth to the story. The movie held my interest (even though I had to watch in subtitles), and just had this lovely energy about it. The kite surfers were a fun group of friends with so much happy, welcoming energy. This is a unique, fresh, and fun Polish movie. I loved it.

surprisingly good

[sunrize-58382 · 10/10 · 17 April 2022]

Summer love story, very enjoyable. Normally I would avoid romantic films, but this one positively surprise me, there is no a boring moment. Good acting, pictures and music.
