Lynch

I have become used to Polish films being good. Lincz caught my attention already at first glance. But I never suspected I would be so shocked. The film tells a true story that happened in one Polish village. It portrays how the democratic system that everyone has fought for here has its flaws, and one cannot do anything against them in some cases. After all, the Middle Ages had some good points, what can I say. (11/17/2014)

While watching the movie Lincz, I couldn't help but think of a familiar quote, that "Justice of law is a fucking keyhole". Exactly because of people like the district prosecutor, I couldn't work in advocacy or public prosecution, such people probably don't have a shred of sense and only quote paragraphs and wield the law and laws. Pfui. In a very small space - local and temporal, a depressing drama unfolds, which cannot leave the viewer indifferent. I probably shouldn't keep repeating myself, but Polish filmmakers are simply amazing. (03/13/2015)

It seems a bit one-sided, but that is not a bad thing in this case. It is not primarily a thorough psychological probe of those involved in one human tragedy, but rather an uncompromising mirror held up to the spirit and word of the law, as well as to "higher principles", to the bureaucratic machine, or to a simple eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth... A film in the best Kieślowski tradition. (10/30/2012)

The Poles are somewhere else. It's a pity that Czechs can't do more than comedies or fairy tales (let's see what happens with the upcoming Jan Žižka, which seems solid so far). The Poles, serve up a steamy drama-thriller told in flashback about an old man who terrorizes his family and has to pay cruelly for it. There are scenes of prison, courtrooms and a bit of physical violence, so there's something for almost everyone. The short 85 minute running time is also a plus, so you are almost left breathless. A decent piece of work. 75% (09/03/2018)

Polish proof that bullying and terror do not exist only in the world of children, but can tie the hands of anyone, Lincz is a film demanding on psyche and empathy, as you probably won't feel good watching this. On the other hand, it has such flattering footage that you won't even catch your breath and it's over after the movie. Poles are becoming better and better filmmakers and this is no exception. However, I must say that psychologically, it could have gone even deeper and Lincz is filmed a bit too superficially. (11/26/2017)
