Audience Member Intensely engaging. Shows cultural limitations of Poland regarding coming-out and LGBT issues. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Well that was boring. Took me about five hours to get through because I kept pausing it to do more enjoyable things, like load the dishwasher. Nicely shot but that's absolutely all Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Quality, but infuriating. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Floating Skyscrapers – another film school quality product. A film about an incestuous mother, and a pathetic girlfriend who settles for life with a gay man. A cookie cutter film in which one of the gay characters has to die from gay bashing, and the other has to live an unbearable existence because he’s too weak to grow a pair of balls, and get on with life as a gay man. A film in which the only character that has any self-respect is the one they kill off. We can’t have a well-adjusted character upsetting all the artsy, doom and gloom. Maybe one day the writer, and so many other writers, will develop enough talent to write a movie with an original story line. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Kuba is an aspiring champion swimmer with an uninspiring life. He lives with his girlfriend Sylwia and his overbearing mother. One night at a gallery opening, he meets Michal who not only saves him from his boredom at the party, but also in life in general as they strike up a close friendship, which turns into an affair. This is a beautifully shot Polish drama which seemed awash with misery. It's supposed to be a heatwave, but I found it all rather cold. It even has a blue filter over everything. The chemistry is electric between the two male leads, but the passionate scenes seemed a little sharp edged. A well-acted and punchy coming out drama, but quite a devastating bummer of a film. No pun intended. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review anthony p What a grimy Polish film in colour of the cinematography to the fake relationships between some of the characters. The film explores the sexual confusion of a male swimmer Kuba. He lives with his girlfriend and his over protective mother who he massages in one scene (yes). Kuba however develops a strong sexual relationship with another male Michel in secret. His champion standard swimming suffers along with his relationship with his girlfriend. Kuba's girlfriends suspicions grow along with his disapproving mother and there are fireworks as the relationship crumbles. However what will the future hold? I must admit this is probably the first Polish film I have ever seen. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
