Zgjoi (2021)
Poor directing and performance about important issues.
I had high hopes when going to watch this film. After about 80 minutes, I realized that this film is as poor in its directing as it is in its performance. Things get repeated tons of times (as if some keywords had to be used over and over), the main actress is placid and unable to convey any feelings or emotions, situations are superficially created by a flimsy plot. Very disappointing.
To me (as a woman), it appears almost like an exploitation movie for female issues. But the cinematic approach of "Hive" is so poor that it makes it ridiculous. There is no subtlety to it. Simply a bashing of Manichean ideas. At some point, I felt like I wouldn't be able to stand the film in its entirety.
A good point though : I felt like the secondary cast was quite interested and would have deserved more screen time.
