Friday Night FlickWhy it’s a Friday Night Flick
Critics loved it (88% on Rotten Tomatoes) and it drew serious awards attention. Make plans for this one.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at fans of mob stories and anyone with a best friend they'd call at 3am. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal. Fans of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair or Boys Don't Cry should feel right at home. More of a critics' pick than a crowd-pleaser: worth it if you like something a little different.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 2 hr 12 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Audiences were cooler on it than critics.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Deaf-mute Sergey enters a specialized boarding school for the deaf. In navigating through the school's hierarchy, he encounters a corrupt underbelly of criminality, known as The Tribe. By participating in several robberies, he gets propelled higher into the organization, when he meets one of the Chief’s concubines Anya, and unwittingly breaks all the unwritten rules of the group."
