Hejter (or The Hater for the English title) is a Polish drama. I can't say I'm very familiar with Polish cinema so I didn't have high expectations for this one. When I saw the high ratings it got the first thing I thought was that there were fake reviews involved (that wouldn't be the first time on here), but the movie turned out to be quite entertaining. Coincidentally the theme of movie is about fake reviews, about internet trolls, about using social media to discredit someone. The main character, a social psychopath, is played by Maciej Musialowski and he was very convincing in his role. So was the rest of the cast. All unknown Polish actors to me, but certainly not bad. The movie is quite long but never boring. Simple but effective cinematography. A good movie to promote Polish cinema.
