About this movie

Exhilarating and astonishingly ambitious, Victoria is an adrenaline-fuelled heist thriller set on the streets of night-time Berlin that features the staggering technical feat of being shot in a single, unbroken take. Victoria, a young woman from Madrid, meets four local guys outside a nightclub in the early hours of the morning. Sonne and his friends are Berliners who promise to show her the real side of the city. Striking up a friendship, they take to a nearby rooftop to continue the night. But when the group are suddenly forced to repay a debt to a member of the city’s criminal underworld, the night quickly spirals out of control. Winner of the Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Achievement at Berlinale 2015, Victoria is a breathless, visceral thrill-ride of a film. Aided by a booming techno soundtrack by German composer Nils Frahm, it is a must-see for fans of edge-of-your-seat thrillers and boundary-pushing cinema.

30 seconds in I thought i'd made a mistake in buying this. Fortunately it didn't cost much. I suppose the name just caught my attention. 5 minutes in I was still sceptical. 15 minutes in could bear it no longer. Appalling. Even the initial premise was scary a naive alone girl leaving a club with 4 or more male strangers. I left it running in the background while I wrote this review, it didn't get any better. Interminable talk and I just kept waiting for some action to raise it up in my expectations. It would have been better value to be paid to watch it

I am thinking that this movie is so poor, because I find it in my history of playstore transactions that I bought it some time ago, but in the reality I never did this transaction, so I am suspecting that because the movie is that bad, so people don't buying it at all, so they doing the false transactions on the some devices to cover the costs of the production, lucky it's not a big amount of money (the cost of " buying" it) so no one really care about your fraudulent transaction. BAD

I had wanted to watch this for a long time when I heard that it was filmed in one take. I was dissapointed by this film. I tried to watch the whole thing but it was just too boring. It didn't seem to have any heart to it and just lacked something. I was watching this with covid so maybe that coloured my enjoyment but still, an interesting concept to film in one take, but for me it just didn't make a good film in any sense.
