SWEAT
Watchable. I expected a flick about narcissism, envy, rivalry. Luckily the movie has defied my expectations. The protagonist, apart from her amazing looks (perfectly cast Magdalena Koleśnik: beautiful, athletic and able to express any emotion) is likeable: every dog would love to have such an owner, she has a heartfelt conversation with an old school mate, is kind to her family, environmentally friendly and hard-working. The rest of the cast acts natural, the pace is decent, the actress changes costumes frequently which, combined with pop music and rhythmic exercise, makes it just nice to watch till the finale which is a sequence of her unpredictable decisions. While watching, I was struck by the grace of Sylwia's attitude to people's weaknesses. But after the movie I couldn't shake off the feeling something was intrinsically wrong: is a man's masturbation when looking at an attractive stranger just a weakness? Can't he overcome it? Does he really have to harass her? The message the film sends is sexist to the core.
