Past year's:

W NICH CALA NADZIEJA (THE LAST SPARK OF HOPE)

Recommended. Post-apocalyptic sci-fi shot in Silesia. Just one human protagonist: Ewa, superbly acted by Magdalena Wieczorek. The story's smartly written by Piotr Biedroń and the main twist is Robert Sheckley-like. Also, there's a robot, not AI as it's used nowadays. The finale's tongue-in-cheek too. A relatively simple story but gripping, especially from the twist onwards. Conversations refer you to a number of paradoxes of our contemporary reality. Decent, sci-fi-appropriate music and cinematography. Make-up is top-notch too. The final credits of this budget movie are not even long but slow and, apart from a very early brief mid-credit indicating someone might be out there trying to use the radio, nothing else happens.
