Instead of selling dreams, this movie sells... Nothing but misery that's presented as "realism". And I don't say that all movies should be "happy" and funny and joyful, nor the cinema must be entertaining - no, actually I like kind-of-sad movies. But this is not a sad movie either. It's a nonsense. No one needs to watch this, though we've all seen this many times.
If the intention of this film was to disgust people from the corrupt post-socialist mentality and chalga-culture, to be something like a wake-up call - it may have succeeded. A little. For those who need that at least. For any other purposes, it's a massive nonsense.
Last but not least. Characters smoking all the time is the worst example you can give. Okay, I know - cinema doesn't necessarily have to be educational. Still, no one needs to watch this, though we've all seen this many times. And NO: smoking and drinking 60% of the screen time doesn't give you some character depth or dramatic look. What year is it?
