Review of Omnipresent

Omnipresent (2017)
9/10
Contemporary, sincere, real
7 November 2017
A contemporary story told in very realistic setting, a lot of character background. What I did not like were the same old pauses, which characters add for some unknown reason (drama probably) for the past 50 years of Bulgarian cinema. Fortunately they are getting shorter and shorter with each decade. Sound, again. Character speech is sometimes hard to understand.

Acting was superb , casting fitted the characters perfectly. The only weaker role had main character's girlfriend - Maria. But since this is her first big role, it was a good start.

I'm glad the director- Ilian Djevelekov continues to make better and better movies. The screenplay was very very interesting, detailed and tight. This time he raised the bar way far, so for his next movie we'll have much higher expectations.

What shook me most is how real every scene was. At least half of the feelings I saw in the characters I have also felt myself. Immersive, part of real life stories, down to earth characters. Both interesting, spicy, zero exaggerating and in the end - even brutal. Highly recommended!
