Vitya

About This Movie

Vitya is this intriguing slice-of-life drama that really digs into the human psyche, or at least attempts to. The protagonist, Vitya, juggles his identity as a mechanic and a struggling psychologist, which creates this fascinating tension. The film has a raw, almost intimate feel, with a pacing that reflects the monotony of Vitya's day-to-day life. The atmosphere is thick with skepticism from those around him, almost like a character in its own right. Performances are solid, with a sense of realism that pulls you in. There's something distinctive about how it portrays the stigma around mental health, balancing between Vitya's hope and the harsh realities he faces. It's not flashy, but it resonates well.
