Piktuju Karta (2021)
Genuinely good
I started watching this film with an attitude 'ah, all the Lithuanian films are kind of average, I never really like them but my friend recommended it so let's give it a shot'. But you know, it really surprised me. It had suspense, interesting plot, great actors, and the ending was unexpected but good unlike many Lithuanian films with weird-ass endings. I think this one is my favorite!
The thing I particularly liked was the believable plot about '90s Lithuania where people seeking independence exposed soviet agents but did it in a way that materially benefit them too. That was the soviet culture - everyone looked after themselves to survive. That felt very real.
Overall, if you want an evening with a great thriller, this is your choice. You won't be dissapointed.
