Irklais per Atlanta (2024)

Action packed

[10/10 · 20 January 2024]

It needs great talent to produce such documentary film that is not just a person rowing through the Atlantic ocean. There was a little bit of everything, which made the viewer experience pleasant. All the way from the backstory, to aftermath; from crying to laughing. Easily one of the best films Lithuania has ever produced. To my mind, this film will go into history and will be still viewed many years from now.

It's hard to comprehend what rowing by yourself in the middle of nowhere feels like, but the film definitely gave an idea of how it all went. Hope to see more of Aurimas' in the near future.

Karta kaime (2022)

Worse than an amateur YouTube sketch

[2/10 · 21 June 2022]

I was not expecting much from a low budget film, but this was beyond bad. The plot reminds me of a poorly written High School play that nobody wanted to be a part of. The story is boring, barely anything make sense. The characters change their qualities multiple times during the film without any explanation. Also there is a considerable contrast between amateur actors and professionals, it was really hard to watch. And the message? There is no message. I would not consider this a comedy at all as there are no signs of comedic attempt whatsoever. Extremely banal and low effort piece with lack of common sense and logic. The only thing I liked was the camera movements and the shots. There were a few great actors in this film, but they were out of place and barely knew what was going on.
