Review of Warning

Warning (II) (2021)
5/10
Unrefined and raw
23 October 2021
Looks like the creators pulled some interesting ideas from the Internet and tried to do multiple stories Black Mirror-style.

I can't say it was horrible, but the script needed a couple more revisions and improvements. Some of the things don't work, some of the dialogue feels very forced. And since Black Mirror exists, it's hard to make a good film about humanity destroying itself in the supposedly happy tech-improved future.

The setting worked mostly because of how cold and lifeless it felt, recognizable Central Europe backgrounds were a nice choice.

The acting ranged from not great (the android handler) to quite okay-ish. Most of the stories were not given enough screen time to shine, I don't know why they have decided to make it as short. The android story with more details would've been great if they'd given it more time to breathe.

There was potential in this film, but it was heavily undermined by the lack of story and details to munch on. Even the budget didn't hurt it as much.

I wish Agata Alexander good luck and hopefully, she will be able to refine this and create a good film out of this with a bigger budget.

I also wouldn't call it artsy, it has a good emotional side and there were no useless scenes of self-indulgence.
