1/10
Outraging

I think it should be forbidden to make movies like this and say that they help the whole world to know the truth about Minsk events. It seems like the directors followed the news for one day, watched some videos and started to shoot. The scene, where a woman turns in the people, who were hiding in her apartment to her son from the security forces, is just outrageous hoax, which distorts real events and real belarusians. The protest, which united so many people, which inspired and showed how incredible, solid and strong belarusians are, despite all the pain and the violence that they got from the government, in the movie shows them as some youngsters who don't live on the agenda whatsoever. There was not a single dialogue between characters, which was somehow related to the situation and events. I wouldn't have had questions, if the creators didn't latch on to a particular event and place. But I think if they call the film "Minsk" and it's about the protests, even if it's a feature movie, it's crucial to check the resources and talk to the people who were there. It's hurts to see, that this story is distributed throughout the world to show what was going on in Belarus in 2020. Russians cannot make a movie about belarusians without belarusians. And that film is direct and outrageous proof to that.
