Review of The Hater (2020) by Jluis_001 — 11 Sep 2020
The relevance of its theme is undeniable but there's a notable lack of perspective and credibility, coupled with the fact that as the plot progresses, the story begins to become more and more implausible, so its excessive duration plays against it.
The plot is still interesting, although its development is not the most graceful.
The main character cannot help feeling quite one-dimensional and this is because there comes a point where the plot shows him as a misguided villain but ultimately kinda cartoonish, who begins to dress up as a spy villain as he begins to do more obscure things.
There's no doubt he's a sociopath, but that's just it.
It works for those who need to see a work of fiction to understand how disinformation campaigns work.
And it also makes its case to show the dangerous rise of white nationalism in Poland.
Maybe it doesn't do it in a subtle way, but the issue is there.
And while their weaknesses are problematic, their strengths will be enough to get you through to the ending and have a good talk after that.
