Így, ahogy vagytok

About This Movie

Így, ahogy vagytok offers a nuanced glimpse into the tangled web of small-town politics in Hungary. The pacing is deliberately slow, almost methodical, which gives you time to soak in the atmosphere—a mix of tension and resignation. Mayor Gábor Bencze, a decorated aviator, is caught between the relentless pressure from local power brokers and his own moral compass. The performances are understated yet impactful, with a palpable sense of dread rising in the face of corruption. The film captures the essence of a community grappling with its own identity, where every decision feels like a high-stakes game. It’s distinctive for its raw, unfiltered approach, and you can feel the weight of the place in every scene.
