About This Movie

Atel Matel is an intriguing blend of comedy and tension. You’ve got Sasha Rodionov, this crafty operator running from a menacing figure called Beekeeper, and the way the family dynamics play out is pretty unique. They land in Dagestan, thinking they’re escaping trouble, but there's this constant push-and-pull with their reality. The pacing feels just right, balancing moments of humor with the underlying dread of their situation. The performances are solid, especially in those tense family moments that go from light-hearted to serious in a blink. Visually, it captures the essence of both Moscow and Dagestan, giving it a distinct flavor. It’s not your run-of-the-mill comedy, that's for sure.
