Above Average

About This Movie

So, 'Above Average' is pretty interesting. It’s a documentary shot in just six hours and on one location, which gives it this raw, almost intimate vibe. The subject claims to be the record-holder for detentions in Croatia—78 times, but only convicted once. That’s wild, right? His disdain for institutions really comes through, and there’s a philosophical edge to his perspective on life that’s hard to ignore. The pacing feels almost like a loose conversation rather than a structured narrative, which might not be for everyone, but it adds to the authenticity. The way the filmmaker captures this man’s contradictions makes it distinctive. It’s unpolished but feels real, and there’s something to be said for that in a world full of overproduced content.

Unique single-location filming. · Focus on individual narrative and personal philosophy. · Interesting commentary on institutional distrust.
