Fentasy

Fentanyl is evidently making waves not just in the U.S. but in Slovakia too. Fentasy is a well-crafted and efficient drama about two cooks, a story we've seen countless times before, so it doesn't bring anything groundbreaking to the table. The standout, however, is Kristína Kanátová, who delivers a solid performance in her role. (06/04/2024)

A mundane story about the big dreams of small people, ending in nightmarish demons and terrors. Kristína Kanátová persistently displays her underwear and Patricia Arquette’s hairstyle, while the flashy camera swirls around tables, moves through the doorway for correspondence, and describes biological processes like in CSI: Miami. During the final intervention, it becomes almost comically detached as an observer. It's visually ambitious but lacking a more distinctive soundtrack and, above all, content that would offer inventiveness and perhaps a moment of surprise. When Officer Švehlík stares at the bulletin board with coffee in hand a quarter-hour before the end, it doesn’t mean he’s Dave Kujan. I just don’t get those enterprising chemists. When all they wanted was a bag of euros and to get out, why didn’t they rent it through the first Slovak search engine for things, services, and experiences? The signs were impossible to miss.
