Invalid

I didn't enjoy it very much, unfortunately. The humor completely missed me, the characters didn't engage me, and I didn't find the story entertaining or engaging either. While it's nice that the Slovaks have tried something out of the box (the action finale is pretty ok), I didn't find my way to it. A bit boring for me. 5/10 (26/07/2023)

Invalid is a black-humoured gangster film about an unlikely avenger and enforcer of the law that rides on similar themes as Old-Timers and Shotgun Justice, but at the same time is a film that exuded the influence of American productions. Zdeněk Godla, whose role as the honestly dumb Gabo fit him like a glove, is the main driving force of the story. I liked the setting in the 1990s, which they managed to make good use of – whether it was the tacky clothes or the world of video stores. In addition to the narrative nostalgia, I also praise the choice of music in the film. (08/06/2023)

Dans le petit monde du film tchèque et slovaque, un tel film est bienvenu. Kusturica a réalisé x histoires similaires dans les Balkans, c'est une habitude chez eux. À mon goût, c'était un peu exagéré, mais je comprends que c'était le but. Le film glisse souvent vers la parodie, une comédie noire poussée à l'absurde. (11/09/2023)
