Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a box office flop and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 58 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Polish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A teenage postal worker, Tomek, routinely spies on his older neighbor Magda, a sexually liberated artist who lives in the apartment across the courtyard from his. As their private worlds merge, fascination turns to obsession, and the line between love and curiosity becomes violently blurred.
