A highly topical episode film about the internal and external disintegration of Budapest society. While students protest on the streets, the small side streets and back rooms are where the great interpersonal dramas unfold. Captured with such merciless honestly and so pointedly written that the viewer can't look away, even if it hurts.

To some degree the film could have been opaque or contrived but its malaise ultimately finds expression in a truly horrible #MeToo moment, one of the most brutally plausible and unsettling I have seen in any film recently. Go to Full Review
