KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

sergepesic " Zift"is a stunning surprise that came from Bulgaria. Black and white noir, dark comedy with a brilliant camera work and lighting. It makes you nostalgic for the old pre-color days, when the directors had to be extra creative, and shadows warmed your heart more than flames ever could. The incredible parody spots wicked sense of humor, especially with the fake Russian songs and surprisingly quite a few homo-erotic images. War and weapons usually get coupled with phallic symbols. Eros and Thanatos in it purest form. It is an immense pleasure to encounter such talented and smart artists, these days of simplicity and proud lack of novelty.Can we have some more, please.

kosmasp But unfortunately not that fleshed out. Story-wise there is not that much there. And I should have been warned. When the cover states things like a "cross between Tarantino ..." and another statement that states, that this movie might be a contender for an "Oscar for best foreign movie" ... you know something is wrong. You just don't know what that might be. But visually this is a (black/white) treat.It's just a shame, that the story doesn't get that much attention. It's pretty incoherent, not to mention that even the most beautiful cinematography (metaphors) are not working if their sole purpose is to confuse the viewer and not deliver any kind of direct link to what we are seeing. Of course you could argue that I didn't get all the references and that might be true. But this still aims higher than it actually can reach. So while not a bad movie at all, there is still quite a few things to improve with this one.

fenoveifenki " Zift" is not a film just a horrible cliché . This a deadly born and terrible cliché. What if they have emptied the genre of no ire to pour the cliché's of communism? So miserably and disgusting and in the same time simple and dumb dedicated for idiots. It questions both sentiments and the feeling of endurance to this horrible mixture one can only zap if it was on TV. If it could surprise anyone it would be for it's appalling lack of measurement. The authors use the socialist era as a background of their demonstration of bad taste and gay games based on excrement's and bathroom images. To quote a wonderful Bulgarian film critic Kulezich in a famous newspaper "the authors have grabbed the WC plate in order to serve us disgusting a fraud deprived of everything but their extreme and infinity ambitions. The clichés cover all fields and it is simply a useless feature I can only advise and comment stay away otherwise you'll get stinky and covered with dirt almost fiscally.

izumrudy-1 TBH I didn't expect much from this title. The comments I heard were SO overrated that I began to suspect they were all based on what u call regional patriotism. It saddens me to c i was right.Story & Plot 1/10 I mean, common... WTF? What did u tell us? Women are hell itself? People in Bulgaria all smell like sh*t and sweat or a mix of both? The only way to have fun is to get drunk and/or make brutal sex, once again covered in sh*t and sweat? I haven't counted how many times the word 'sh*t' is used but its kinda the most used word in the movie.Characters 1/10 Erm... Come again? The Moth? The Mantis? Oh really! No development whatsoever during the movie, nothing... I mean u cant write about something that is pretty much non existing. OST 3/10 There was only 1 good thing in Zift - The opening song called Smuglyanka Moldavanka performed by the Red Army Choir.Enjoyment 0/10 No commentI have just 1 wish: Please, pretty please, stop making use of the communist regime as an excuse for making crap movies. Its gone. We all can c it. Cant u? Time to talk about something else.
