Edi Audience Reviews

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
tedg There are two film communities that carry special expectations for me. One of them is Polish film. Its probably not fair, but Kieslowski and Polanksi seem to be more than film geniuses. They seem to reflect a certain manifest spirit of the people that is coherent and close to the surface. One gets the illusion that Poland is a place where ordinary motions and lives are easily revealed as lovely, wound with an attractive, unornamented motion.So any Polish film comes to me with the expectation that it will be special. I have just the opposite expectation for Czech and Hungarian films for instance. I expect them to simply struggle. This is a film that let me down for the only reason that it is Polish. If you do not know it, there are events that don't quite matter. The thing is a sort of meditation on the perfection of placement within flows of hopelessness. Its all about grace in motion, and does some superb work in conveying the story cinematically. For instance, there are many high overhead shots of our two junkpickers moving gracefully, usually through dank urban residue. These are complemented by similar drifting shots from the side, many with portals and revealing planes.So the man with the eye surely know what he was doing; and he is successful in giving us pure visual language that gets to the heart of the thing. Its not nuanced, woven in any way, so after a bit you wonder if this is all: a canvas with no paint. So its the guy with the pen that seems to have decided that a simple tone is good enough. So what you end up with is something not worthy of Poland, an art film that can serve as a date movie is your date isn't deep enough to be interesting.There are some story knots: the ex-girlfriend and his brother; the tales of a past untold; the small laughs about junk. But it could have been a film that mattered.Ted's Evaluation -- 3 of 3: Worth watching.
gosiekgg It was very very very beautiful ,a moving, deep, interesting film for every one!!! You should see this amazing film!!! It's worth pay attention to music on this film.I recommended it not only polish spectator's!!! In my opinion it's very serious candidate for Oscar prize!!!
jaga2 It's the best movie in 2002 for me. Today's life of almost everybody is in horrible rush, crying for more money, more fancy dresses, exotic food, faster cars etc. We forgot the meaning of true friendship, simple love, everyday devotion. The guy called Edi is very poor one, jobless, homeless, alcoholic. But he works on his own - he picks scrap everyday to feed him and handicapped friend, living with him in ruins. He smiles everydays, helps to smile other guys, tries to make the world around more happy. Edi falls in love very badly and he is faithful to the girl in really heroic way. That simple guy is great man. After the movie I was ashamed I ever complain on my own life.Call to your girl and go to see this movie, it's worth your time!
lukasz012 I do not want to spoil the whole effect decribing it so you must go to cinema and watch it!!I promise-you won't regret it.You will even thank me for recommending it.It is nominated for an Oscar and I hope it will get it cause it is really special film about special men.There are such a people don't notice them.It s the high time we did!
