Leave your thoughts about The Hater.
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoEvery time it feels like Komasa and Pacewicz edge too close to sympathy for their modern monster, Tomasz does something that reveals those feelings to be unearned and undesired by the filmmakers. And it’s that give and take that makes The Hater interesting. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeUnlike “Corpus Christi,” which was loosely based on factual events, The Hater parts ways with plausibility early on — and yet, it’s relevant enough to prey on our anxieties. |
| TheWrapSteve PondThe film drags on until the story becomes harder to buy and the central character harder to remain interested in. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyThe movie is most effective in detailing how disinformation campaigns work. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreAll this amorality is in service of a morality tale, of course, pointing out that politics is more than just a game manipulated by liars and cheats. It’s a blood-port, and hate speech incites hate crimes in this self-righteous, long and meandering allegory. |
| User ReviewDanrdgTalvez o filme mais subestimado do ano. A narrativa vai caminhando devagar te mostrando aos poucos do que o protagonista pe capaz pra quando chega no final, te deixar ofegante. O ator principal é muito bom e o elenco de apoio não fica muito atrás. Um retrato verdadeiro de como o ódio da internet pode ultrapassar a tela. Tão real que assusta. |
| User ReviewBanosThis movie tells the story of Tomasz (Maciej Musialowski) a young university student who has recently been expelled from the law school. Not that being enough he is being humiliated by the only family he has. Spying on them and preparing his revenge through starting to work in a propaganda company trying to find the weak of the politician this family supports. An excellent and intense movie that eill keep you through at all its duration. |
| User Reviewmikesgold2KBardzo dobry film opowiadający o problemach naszego społeczeństwa. Jan Komasa trafnie ukazuje wiele problemów, czasem jednak zbyt wiele. Niesamowita rola Macieja Musiałowskiego grającego niby zwykłego chłopaka, lecz skrywającego mroczną stronę antybohatera. Reszta obsady również daje radę. Cała produkcja jest świetnie wykonana, wręcz na światowym poziomie. Bardzo serdecznie polecam ten film. |
| User ReviewSorrowKillerGreat movie. Captures the essence of a disturbed character facing social repression. A lot of us can relate to that. The social commentary also reflects well upon modern society and portrays how social media influences us, makes us care less about others and boosts our ego. For the most part, I feel like I get to relate how our sociopathic protagonist feels. If you enjoy watching a sociopathic thriller similar to "The Social Network" or "Nightcrawlers", I think you will enjoy this movie. Last but not least, the soundtrack they used in this film is awesome. It brings you a sort of melancholic vibe to every scene the protagonist is in. |
| User ReviewkatezoeDisturbing look at what the world has become and the internet being used for insidious purposes by demented individuals. |
