Informacja swrotna (Feedback) uses the disappearance of an alcoholic ex-rockstar's son as the vehicle for an increasingly more difficult and treacherous self-discovering journey. Although Arkadiusz Jakubik as Marcin Kania tends to overact his younger drunken spells, he is quite convincing and this viewer (being a dry alcoholic since 1994) could both empathize and identify with him. Prospective viewers might expect the focus being the detective part of the story, which is important enough, but it really is a portrayal of the devastating effects alcohol can have on both the user and everyone else around him. He alienates his son and daughter and treats his wife as trash. In the end it's quite a fine character and case study and a severe warning. Thought-provoking material that won't sit easily with some people. 9/10.
