When rating movies I usually have two ratings - one for mainstream and one for artsy / Lithuanian movies. It's kinda sad that Lithuanian cinema still hasn't produced anything that would impress me or I wouldn't leave cinema theater without a thought "ok, this was good... for a Lithuanian movie". And this is exactly the case - it's ok for a Lithuanian movie.
From the script / directing point of view I was annoyed at the start - extremely long, very static scenes that are often associated with classic / old Lithuanian cinema. But after a while I got kinda used to that and thought "if this was the art style for decades, maybe this is / should be the signature of Lithuanian movies?". Similar genre Japanese counterparts are also tend to be this slow, but it's not immediately a bad sign. In this case the slowness did convey the mood pretty well. Oh yeah, I slightly got lost in details, so the script may have been a bit more forgiving (but probably that's my problem).
Regarding the characters - character development was not that evident, yet I kind of understand that this may have been done in order to convey the ephemeral mood. At least there was no theatrical overacting / weird & unnatural dialogs - this ruins Lithuanian movies way too often. So no criticism regarding the cast.
Regaring the techical details - I kinda was bummed seeing so much chromatic abberation in the movie. At first I thought maybe this was a cinema hardware bug, but... probably it was just left during the post-process (should have been removed in my oppinion).
Nevertheless, despite all the mentioned shortcomings, the movie did convey the mood very well - I may have recognized similar situations from my life at some point and left the cinema with an uneasy feeling. This type of movie is not my cup of tea (to say the least), but I do believe that the director (as well as all other cast members) has achieved their goal.
