Barbara Mar 27 Trenchant and riveting. See more David B @Boston42 Aug 15 Somewhat disturbing when one thinks of what may be currently happening in America See more MB C @MB.Cinema Jul 10 It follows a young idealistic prosecutor who investigates prison abuse, only to uncover a system built on fear and control. The film presents a powerful and disturbing idea about justice within a corrupt system. However, its slow pace and cold tone make it emotionally distant despite its heavy themes. Strong direction and atmosphere are evident, but the characters feel more symbolic than human. Ultimately, it’s a thoughtful and important film that earns respect—but not emotional engagement. See more westwinkel T @aidosmedia Jul 8 One of the best and most intense films I have seen in a long time. Outstanding leading performances, combined with a powerful and oppressive visual language: narrow grey streets, claustrophobic buildings, endless corridors and staircases. Again and again, we hear the metallic sound of steel doors opening and slamming shut — a recurring motif that becomes increasingly terrifying. The film inevitably evokes Kafka’s The Castle. Yet Two Prosecutors feels even colder, more merciless and more immediate. It portrays the terror of authoritarian state power under Stalin and the devastating powerlessness of citizens who still believe in justice, freedom and human dignity. A deeply disturbing film — and, precisely for that reason, a highly relevant one today.

I'm talking about the real-life events from the Stalinist era, not the film itself. The film conveys very well what happened at the time and how dictators – or human beings in general – can become utterly consumed by the pursuit of power. Power has a profound effect on the human mind; it's genuinely pathological. And the most incredible thing is that there's always a crowd of people willing to follow them. See more Dylan G @Puddles Jun 29 Great movie! Sort of a movement through an absurd bureaucracy, where the protagonist’s idealism — and that of the second prosecutor — comes up against a grim reality. They really nail the ambiance, setting, and thought the actors were all great. Worth the watch! See more Read all reviews
