I am the first one to write a review, so I'll be very honest. When I got to the cinema I was very excited about this movie, some people said that it's the hungarian version of 'requiem for a dream'. In the first 30 minutes I liked everything, the protagonist character 'Gyozo' was a good choice for the role, (he reminded me of John Travolta from Pulp Fiction, maybe it was an easter egg Lmao), the CGI effecrs were well made, and gave the terrifying images of a drug trip, and were awesome. But then problems came. Dr. Cernus's character does not feel right. He somehow is overacting his role, doesnt feel genuine. The scritp is good, but besides the acting of Gyozo's character, I was bored by the other characters and events.

Overall 6 stars means that it's worth to watch, but dont expect a film as poweful as Requiem for a dream.

There is no point to watch this movie.

This movie is about selfishness but seems like nothing changes during or after the story itself. Gyozo is on point, some things are happening with him but overall there is no point to watch the whole thing. You get some Transpotting vibes but that is it. We do not know anything about the outcomes, neither with Gyozo nor with the nurse, the doctor or the lady who got kickout out from the group.

There is no lesson or message here, maybe that selfish attitude never changes but I thing IRL it is not overall true.

Production and acting is good but the story does not worth a movie maybe it could be a good 15min short.
