| User ReviewMarta KNot exactly a film for a Friday evening. Great performances. So incredibly real. |

| User ReviewOktawian WKrysztof Krauze, brightest hope in the new wave of Polish cinema, returns to the social realism of his breakthrough movie Dlug. Plac Zbawiciela is social cinema at it's best, perhaps more Mike Leigh than Dardenne, and an uncompromising uncovering of post-communist society and it's disruptive effects on a young family. As the film's title suggests, there's also a deep catholic subtext buried in there and a theme of absolution going on. Strong performances from all main actors. |
| User ReviewAsia Sgood but very very very sad. People were leaving the cinema in silence... |
| User ReviewKieran KNot hangover fare, you are likely to wonder can it get more depressing. Yes it can, again and again, but stick to it. Memorable and exhausting rather than enjoyable. |
| User ReviewPrivate USo sad story, but shows many true things about typical polish family - life-style, problems, mentality... |
| User ReviewCody OAn excellently put together film in every way. It portrayed so much emotion (although of a very tragic or negative type.) This film made you understand the dilemma of the main character and a sometimes cruel and ugly world. |
| User ReviewMateusz ZToo realistically depressing for it's own good, this is a piece of very heavy social cinema, providing the viewer very little space to breath. However, having said that, it points out the problems of modern Poland in a very accurate and well-structured manner. Only for people interested in the Eastern European post-Communist transition. For all others it will be quite hermetic. |
