JESTEM REN (I AM REN)

Watchable. I guess every woman in a relationship feels like that: any error and you can be chucked out, also, men can't tolerate when women feel more than the man which is exactly the case in the movie. Hard to believe it's written by a male (Piotr Ryczko). But the main topic quickly turns out to be not a failure/malfunction but domestic violence. All of that is lightly coated with science fiction. The storyline however is more of a whodunnit and the film leads you astray quite a few times. So, whereas the script is fascinating, sadly, it looks and sounds low-budget. Not only is it austere but it's poorly acted and filmed. Conversations sound monotonous in spite of the twists of action. Would work better as a short story or novel than a movie.

The review's based on a screener so a cinematic reception might differ.
