Watch The Judgement For Free

Truly Dreadful Film

The Worst Film Ever

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The Judgment is a very good cinematic experience. Very well written and expertly directed by one of the best Bulgarian directors nowadays. The cast is excellent. Every aspect of the film is very well executed - music, camera work, editing, make up and sound FX - you just feel that you are part of the story.The style is dark, but everything is presented in the wright way. There is enough excitement and suspense moments. Very strong dialogues and character performances. A must watch - don't miss it.

This movie proves that good film-making is still alive in Bulgaria. One of the best Bulgarian films I've ever seen in my live. This movie should have won Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film with its ravishing performances by the actors, breath-taking plot, Steven-Spielberg-style one-shots and exhilarating landscapes.This is the story of Mitio (The amazing Assen Blatechki), who lives day by day, trying to connect both ends in order to produce a better live for him and his son Vasko (Ovanes Torosian). Mitio's wife, whose name isn't mentioned throughout the film, has died from some kind of illness, again it's not said what kind of illness. Trying to keep her alive, Mitio gets 7000E loan, which he has to return to the bank.Assen Blatechki is unmistakable in Sadilishteto (The Judgment), he again shows us that there are still good Bulgarian actors, who can perform at a very high level, even capable of staring in Hollywood productions. He fits perfectly to the poor villager demeanor and we can really feel and sense his love towards his son, Vasko. When the story slowly unfolds, we see that Mitio is still being haunted by his dark past, when he used to be a soldier, alas he can't run away from it, even though he tries hard to do so.Sadilishteto (The Judgment) is a really well-paced movie, with a top-notch long take that lets us know that Bulgarian cinematographers can do it, too! I can't hide my admirations for Stephan Komandarev, who's done an excellent job directing this movie. I truly hope that there would be more movies like this one in the following years. It was a pleasure watching Sadilishteto.

A story about a lone father who is struggling with life after he loses his job and faces the possibility of losing his house. To make things worse his past comes to life again and this causes issues between him and his son.The film keeps a realistic feel from start to end. It shows life as it is and relationship between characters look very natural. The story revolves around problems in recent times. Every character has an own story going on which is different from the major one. None of them is straightforward but rather complicated and has good as well as bad personality traits. All characters are story-orientated and none of them stands out from the rest, although Assen Blatechki and Predrag Manojlovic manage to give a really dramatic performances.The script is well-written, the dialogues are very good and there are some philosophical thoughts about the important things in life. The whole film has a bit dark feel to it.The film is well-made and it is worth seeing.
