Birthday offers a raw glimpse into teenage recklessness, all wrapped in a claustrophobic atmosphere. The film unfolds on a dreary rainy night, setting a tone that feels both intimate and oppressive. You have Marko and Kecko, who seem to embody youthful disillusionment, thrown into this peculiar birthday bash for Milan. What starts as a typical party morphs into a disturbing exploration of desire and societal pressures, particularly with Milan's virginity hanging over the festivities like a dark cloud. The pacing is uneven, which mirrors the chaotic nature of the night, and the performances feel genuine, capturing the awkwardness and urgency of youth. Practical effects are minimal but effective, adding to the film's disquieting vibe.
