"A sprawling black comedy" that's the first thing I read when I looked up Donbass. Since I'm a big fan of black comedy that was enough for me to give it a try. The truth is though that I didn't laugh once as there is absolutely no humor at all in it, not even black one. Basically it's just war scenes, alot of mysery and corruption that reflects perfectly what I think about Ukraine at that time. There is absolutely no line in the story, instead they hop from scene to scene without making any sense. 90% of the cast are good actors, the other 10 looked like they were picked from the street and didn't have a clue about acting. I can't say that I enjoyed this movie nor that I did understand why it would be nominated for any awards or even worse, winning some awards.
