Nedelja (2024)
This movie is like that kid in class who unsuccessfully desperately tries to be cool
I haven't seen such an awful movie in a while. Artistically void, hopelessly bland, with zero movie-making craft. Watches like an unsuccessful documentary - as if someone dramatized parts of Dzej's Wikipedia page. Characters are hopelessly shallow. So many narrative arcs are scratched on the surface and then just left to die - which may be forgiven had the movie managed to communicate some strong emotion - which it definitely didn't. The main character and narrator, Dzej, feels like a faded bystander in his own movie. Major things in his life just happen, and we have no explanation or exposition why - neither factographical, nor emotional, not even postmodernly artistic. What is this movie trying to do, what is trying to be? It's neither a documentary-like coherent biopic nor an arthouse examination of an artist's internal life and emotions. Nor is it anything in between - the script is just plain bad, and often, really boring. Absolutely horrid waste of time to be honest. A shame, because a movie about Dzej's life could have been really good, but the screenwriters just blew it.
