Film after film: Hiacynt (Operation "Hyacinth," dir. Piotr Domalewski, 2021)

My beef with Polish films that tackle LGBTQ+ stories is that they mostly deal with the trauma of the past and/or the present in ways that are predictably mundane. This film has a lot of it too, and it's not a bad thing. There's just no heart that beats under the layer of an interesting yet emotionally detached storyline, with one great lead role (Zietek) and not much more.
