Stay the Same

About This Movie

Stay the Same, a 1985 TV movie, offers an intriguing glimpse into the transformative period of the late '60s through the eyes of Miroslav, a student caught between his revolutionary past and the pull of a conventional career. The pacing feels a bit slow at times, but it captures a certain melancholy that resonates with the times. The performances, particularly the chemistry between Miroslav and Dragana, feel genuine, grounding the film in a sense of real emotional conflict. It’s interesting how the film weaves in the tension of activism with the mundane challenges of adulthood. The practical effects are minimal, but the focus remains on dialogue and character development, which gives it a unique, introspective quality not often found in typical comedies.
