positive · AI labelView post →next to Dry Leaf and One Battle After Another, Sirāt is certainly the lesser film; too content with its metaphors, style, and weathered faces to build compelling characters, and then forcing shock into the proceedings to cover for the lack of investment a good movie, and cool, but wanting
neutral · AI labelView post →Dry Leaf could well be the most demanding film at this year's TIFF. But even at 3 hours, the way Alexandre Koberidze gently coaxes us to expand our horizons and ways of seeing the filmic image as we saunter through rural Georgia through the lens of an obsolete Sony Ericsson is a mesmerizing feat.

About a father looking for his daughter across abandoned soccer pitches in the Georgian countryside. Shot on an old phone camera.
neutral · AI labelView post →"We notice our noticing, become aware of how this film abt looking undoes our own ways of seeing. In Dry Leaf, seeing is, to a considerable extent, imagining, requiring us to fill in details that the image lacks. 'The more you remove... the more that remains for the spectator.'" Medium cool ❄️
neutral · AI labelView post →DRY LEAF is an eternally long film about a man looking for his missing daughter by looking at soccer pitches. Shot on an old cellphone its the sort of film that made people think art house films were a joke www.unseenfilms.net/2026/03/dry-...

neutral · AI labelView post →An excellent review of Dry Leaf, which I completely agree with, although with the caveat that I actually walked out of the film halfway through. And it sounds like I missed the most exciting bit.
neutral · AI labelView post →Turns out there is a limit to how long I can watch a film shot on a Sony Ericsson mobile phone on a big cinema screen, and that limit is 90 minutes. Unfortunately, Dry Leaf is 306 minutes long.
negative · AI labelView post →"With Koberidze, it’s never really about the story." Shot entirely on a Sony Ericsson, Alexandre Koberidze’s DRY LEAF is about the journey, not the destination! 😍 Read @danielallen.bsky.social's review from the BFI London Film Festival! ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ #LFF #LFF2025 #DryLeaf #AlexandreKoberidze

neutral · AI labelView post →Dry Leaf (2025) A Georgian film of 3h+ with ultra low resolution, what is to fear ? THE MOST HYPNOTISING experience of the festival ! Koberidze cinematic apparatus encapsulates masterfully the sense of vanishing, beautifully supported by a haunting soundtrack. 8/10 #locarno78

A missing girl, abandoned football pitches a (real) father and an invisible ghost filmed in U-matic, these 3h in 2 equal parts struggle to exude a real charm.
