A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.

What is the stranger you have picked up on the side of the road thinking? Maybe he knows what you think? Shot in Baku with non-professional actors, this project was born by chance when the director met with Sarkhan and Sabir, the two protagonists of the movie. This short film offers us the chance to watch a few hours of the strange fate of a young man linked to a criminal association.

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
