FISHEYE

Watchable. Barely. It drags so badly I kept counting the minutes of the film. While the set-up of being kidnapped and locked up while close ones don't know where the person has vanished is, by rule of thumb, a perfect thriller setting. Instead you get a quirky and somewhat disturbing psychological drama about a few severely disturbed individuals, most of them scientists - hardly plausible. Poorly acted - no good role in the whole cast and ineptly shot - everyone looks ugly and the interiors are often overlit. The setting where she's locked-up right next to her flat was intriguing enough for me to endure watching till the end. 3 scriptwriters, 4 script doctors, psychotherapy consultants on top of that, developed within some special Nowe Horyzonty program and such a result? Shame on everyone.

Reviewed from an online screener, cinematic reception might differ.
