Posledice / Consequences (2018)

Director: Darko Stante

Stars: Matej Zemljič, Timon Šturbej, Gašper Markun...

After being sent to a youth detention centre, 18-year-old Andrej has to fight for his place within the group of inmates while getting closer to Željko, their informal leader, and struggling to keep his repressed secret in the dark.

I was so looking forward to this movie. Since I saw the pictures I thought how great it's going to be and visually speaking, it is - I think the production is good, scenes have a certain aesthetic to it, actors performed good and they were also handsome, but it's fair to say I did not like the movie at all. I was also very interested because this was a movie from Slovenia. I always look forward to seeing new movies from smaller countries in foreign languages or movies that are not so popular or more indie. I think it's always a bold move for a smaller country to produce a gay-themed movie. To be the first to make a statement like that is not easy.

So, why didn't I like this movie? For a couple of reasons. First of all, it's too depressing. It shows problematic youth behavior. Young people drinking, using drugs, fighting in gangs, bullying each other... By the time I got to the end of the movie, I was expecting for a certain point to be made. What's the point of showing all those negative things in life if you don't have an idea how to make it better or give hope to your viewers? Otherwise, it just makes people lose hope and get depressed in the long run after watching a couple of movies like this one. LGBT individuals are often discriminated against and as such they need some positive outlook on life because most of the time all they hear and all they see - it's all negative, like in this movie. So people start thinking "life is really horrible", but it's not. Life can also be beautiful. This movie is not a representation of life. It's a representation of institutions not doing their job.

In the movie we have guards responsible for keeping order in the detention centre, but you can actually see the guards being scared of the young guys because of their violent behaviour. Also, there's no sense of community in the centre. If only there was a real friendly person with whom the guys could form a friendly relationship, I think there would be less problems. The boys in the detention centre are sad because nobody gives a damn about them. They were just put there because nobody wanted them and they can sense that the authorities are not genuinely interested in helping them, but are doing it just because it's their job.

Also, I don't think the gay flirting thing between the guys in the gang is realistic. I just don't see it happening. Maybe there could be some secret affairs in the gang, but they sure won't be flirting in the middle of a party in front of all their mates. I'm close to the age of the guys in the movie so I know how the youth acts. So that was just unrealistic. Of course, it was sad how Andrej doesn't see that Željko is using him and the ending with the poor animal was just horrible.

All in all, I am disappointed in this. It's hard for me to even describe this as a gay movie. It's a drama about detention centres and similar institutions failing to do their job well, ignoring the young people who need help. The fact that there is a gay theme involved is actually secondary and could be easily replaced with anything else so long as the criticism stays on the institutions and irresponsible parents who couldn’t provide love and support to their children.

Rating: 2/5
