Review: What Do We Do When We Look At The Sky?

I honestly don't recall any film from Georgia. So I was intrigued to see this to what stories come from Georgia.

This was honestly a peculiar one, and yet it had something that I found rather charming and mystical to it.

For the most part it plays out like fairytale. Then every so often, random sequences and subplots intertwined that gave an idea of the vibe and atmosphere of a community proud of its traditions, but also hopeful of the future.

There was an unexpected subplot around Football that played out like one of those official FIFA World Cup films from the 50's or 60's.

The ending didn't go as I expected. It seemed to focus more than it's themes and all plots as one rather than main plot. Which considering the themes involved kind of makes sense.

While none of the performances were outstanding, they all played their part in a more ensemble fashion to fulfill the directors vision.

I was surprised how enchanting the location was. Despite it being in Eastern Europe, it felt more like central or Western Europe. A very enchanting setting it was.

It's definitely not for everyone as the duration will test people. But if you give a chance, you can get absorbed in this one without realising. The way it changes its vibe, genre and even audience participation which I have never seen before makes this this stand out and I'm sure will give it some longevity over time.

Rating: 7/10
