I Hate You

About This Movie

I Hate You (1986) is this intriguing drama that captures the bittersweet reunion of the Mikhailovs after years apart. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the weight of lost time to settle; you really get the sense of their fractured relationship. The performances are raw, and there’s something to the unrefined nature of the acting that adds to its authenticity. It's about grappling with the laziness of youth and the regret that follows. The atmosphere is heavy, almost claustrophobic, enhancing the emotional stakes. Not a flashy film, but it has its own gritty charm. You'll find layers in the characters as they rediscover each other; it’s complex in a very human way.
