Adrian Panek’s follow-up delivers a thoroughly engrossing, bleak experience that thrives on its heavy atmosphere. Shifting the focus to a small provincial town, the film does an excellent job building a sense of tension and capturing the isolation of a tight-knit community protecting its dark secrets. Jakub Gierszał anchors the production with a cold, commanding intensity, while the cinematography beautifully emphasizes the gloomy, immersive landscape. For those who appreciate a grim, hard-hitting crime story driven by pure atmosphere and strong lead performances, it is a highly compelling watch.
