A filmmaker sets up a camera on his balcony and talks to passers-by. When listening to them carefully he is rewarded with most confessions. Every story is unique, and life always surpasses imagination. It is a tribute to life, a mirror for everyone to see themselves in.

In the end, it’s a tale of weak ties, and of the joy of simply watching people pass by and engaging them in conversation. You never really know what someone will say, but it’s rarely what you’re expecting.

Looking Closer

It seems like such an ordinary stoop on which a filmmaker might set up shop, but what transpires is remarkable. ... If we learned to look through lenses of possibility and generosity, we might find friends in neighbors from here and faraway.

Rated: B+

The Film Experience

In a peculiar sort of way, the film offers a unique look at contemporary Poland absent the more rigid formalities of narrative, and in its process, goes some way to demystifying the documentary process.

The Balcony Movie is what happens when you have some equipment and imagination. There are no limits to what you can do.

Rated: 10/10

Everyone bares so much in brief snippets, some charming, others contentious, almost all curious... These fascinating interviews prompt me to answer the same questions, more aware than ever of how much I define myself by my answers.

PopMatters

This collage of vignettes makes for a poignant, sad, funny, and continually entertaining pastiche that captures rich interior lives in miniature and from a bird’s-eye view.
