THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN

Recommended. The dog is totally cute, the couple perfect, the bosses compassionate, the story sufficiently complex and very heart-warming. While the plot is a real tear-jerker, it leaves you very peaceful and optimistic.

POLITYKA (POLITICS)

Watchable. For someone who has been following actual politics in Poland it's disappointing, seems like director Patryk Vega did his best to prevent being sued. The movie's too cautious to be as engaging as everyone hopes. Though the make-up and styling are superb and the acting up to scratch, it does not match the original politicians - it appears  dispassionate and flat in comparison to the real persons' audacity. I did laugh out when the police officer realised who was behind the mask and I loved seeing "TV Ufam" instead of "Trwam" - I think that was quite ingenious but most of the time I just waited 'what's next?' and hoped for more pathology than has been published in the official media. Hoped for more behind-the-scenes. Still, it does show how politics works so it is eye-opening .
