A contemporary story told in very realistic setting, a lot of character background. What I did not like were the same old pauses, which characters add for some unknown reason (drama probably) for the past 50 years of Bulgarian cinema. Fortunately they are getting shorter and shorter with each decade. Sound, again. Character speech is sometimes hard to understand.

Acting was superb , casting fitted the characters perfectly. The only weaker role had main character's girlfriend - Maria. But since this is her first big role, it was a good start.

I'm glad the director- Ilian Djevelekov continues to make better and better movies. The screenplay was very very interesting, detailed and tight. This time he raised the bar way far, so for his next movie we'll have much higher expectations.

What shook me most is how real every scene was. At least half of the feelings I saw in the characters I have also felt myself. Immersive, part of real life stories, down to earth characters. Both interesting, spicy, zero exaggerating and in the end - even brutal. Highly recommended!

Makes you think about our "CCTV" times and our "un-cctv-ed" souls. Very good acting, especially the two very young guys (Tony Minassyan and Vessela Babinova). A different stance on Sofia - more vibrant and European than a post-socialist city.

No wasting of screen time, every scene is dense and meaningful.

I guess there is no one that have ever touched a 'device' with the ability to record video and audio - knowingly or unknowingly to the audience and not to notice the idea of Emil floating in one's mind. Very good approach to the character development, dynamic narrative and a pinch of aristocracy, which unfortunately lacks in the 'modern' Bulgarian society today. Worth watching, regardless of the nationality though. Definitely recommended.

Lets get the cons out of the way immediately: Yes its has a bit more nudity than your average film and some scenes are slow-ISH. But thats about it, everything else is a picture perfect execution. The actors really convey their emotions with just a glance. The screenplay is very well written it really shows character dynamics and relationships between the characters. And when everything starts to unfold it really keeps you on the edge, makes you uncomfortable (in a good way which i cannot describe here because it would be a spoiler) and makes you REALLY experience what the main character is feeling in those final scenes. It really is one of the better Bulgarian movies and Im proud that my home country has came out with such a masterpiece! The 7.5 stars rating almost does it justice, personally i would give it like an 8.1! A must watch for any movie enthusiast that likes psychological drama and "Big Brother" esq. Genre!

Excellent, thought-provoking, engaging film with superb acting and beautiful photography. It raises serious questions, not only about the ubiquity of CCTV, but the morality of knowing and the burden of it. Without secrets, normal life is not possible.
