Great idea, bad editing and dialogue

It seems the director Martin Makariev likes to work with similar actors, which in this movie shows a great variety in their performances. The scenes with violence were made perfectly real bringing gasps and utter aghast from the public. However the dialogue falls short on many occasions making the entire scene flat. Great execution from the child actress portaying young Elena, Yana Marinova continues with the roles of freespirited and nonconformist woman, but this time adds depth different or maybe not explored in her previous movies. Luiza Grigorova plays the role of Elena effortlessly (with just the notion of living with someone that abuses you and still trying to find a common gorund with them is both applauding and appaling).

The story is great, I liked the way Makariev portayed two different Sofias (the Communist and Current) and how even though times have changed people have not. Men will always be taking higher positions and women will always be treated with disrespect and having no place around them.

I HATE that all the people smoke. From the first scene onwards there is this constant smoking. This is a theme that is present in all.

Finally, the dialogue and editing especially in the final scene are a mess. Adding new footage to something that should anchor the viewer from all that has happened to what is about to happen... Felt like a hot mess.

Still I enjoyed it, but no more than 6 stars.

I liked it a lot and I am expecting to see part two. Fate , karma, child distress and trauma, call it all at once. A mother's decisions call upon a daughter, how very often seen in everyday real life, and how in a very good and really psychological manner presented by the great Bulgarian actors and the director and all people behind this movie. Though I believe we should have seen more about the mother's real ending and who actually took care and raised Elena, because these people have great deal in her present character. And we should definitely see Elena in a second movie where she really proves to be free spirited , independent, handling all with dignity and grace, as her mother taught her, despite her husband still presumably still alive!

Attraction

Director Martin Makariev combines opportunities with an innovative selection of cultivated personalities superb tastes with mythical innate guilt..!? Happy to be real, trust the person next to you must have..!? The plot has many faces even when it is hidden behind the mask of good intentions. Hollywood community have made movies about the life in Europe for the next thousand years, next we who recognize each other what will we choose to follow I already loved and you..!? Very often law is the enemy of justice..!? Locals don't sing in choir anymore..!? A very creative scenario, but the environment in which it is limited..!? Think of something that didn't happen, some fun visual experiments, it's a fun conspiracy thriller that with the right people can be a sharp tool locking us into a sensitive reality that we all seek to escape in an extraordinary way..!? The bold modern design of the movie Trust Game has maximum glamor to every detail chosen by the legendary screen personalities..!? The menu of promises of a cast and music as an art that seems surprising when you expand the inventive sense with new chase scenes that involve approaching justice from skills always fast, it could also be a revenge black comedy that explores class beatisms..!? The folk psychology of the original firsts might just be the funniest comedy you've ever seen to apply to your fifty shades of brown..!? Definitely the message makes you think for a while, once we get it the fun wears off..!? The staging is supposed to be good in the second act and the film is brilliantly spun..!? Trust Game is a great story something different no matter the scares they are startling and convincing. The editing and music are impressively tuned for maximum impact, the striking realism of coincidences to the film is his craft removing any sense of déjà vu..!? Game of Trust will be inspired by an ancient and powerful Bulgarian noble family..!? The leading dynasties in the Bulgarian film industry are the most influential realities of the European political landscape with humble origins that continue with heirs..!? A vibrant mix of history and culture, great memories of the time with world class food hotspots, royal orders and heritage galore..!?
