Dust poster

It's not too common to see these types of indie films in Russian cinema. Contemporary, lo-fi, and conceptual, the idea was pretty cool. On the other hand, the execution felt a little rushed and unfinished. A film like Dust tends to benefit from a nice, edgier presentation, but none of that here.

The performances weren't too bad, and the setup is pretty fun. There are some darker shades of comedy present, an interesting core concept, and the film isn't that predictable. It's just a shame that it's a bit of an eyesore. The potential was clearly there, but the direction and the execution didn't live up to it.
