Opisy(1)
Tomek (Maciej Musiałowski), student prawa Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, zostaje przyłapany na plagiacie i wydalony z uczelni. Postanawia jednak ukrywać ten fakt przed światem i nadal pobiera pomoc finansową od państwa Krasuckich (Danuta Stenka, Jacek Koman) – rodziców Gabi (Vanessa Aleksander), przyjaciółki z czasów dzieciństwa. Kiedy oszustwo wychodzi na jaw, skompromitowany chłopak traci zaufanie i życzliwość swoich dobroczyńców. Przepełniony gniewem i żalem, oddzielony od Gabi, w której skrycie podkochuje się od lat, Tomek planuje zemstę na Krasuckich. Szansa pojawia się, kiedy otrzymuje pracę w agencji reklamowej, a wraz z nią dostęp do najnowszych technologii i tajemnic stołecznej elity. Pod pozorem obowiązków zawodowych Tomek zaczyna inwigilować Krasuckich, aktywnie włączonych w kampanię polityczną kandydata na prezydenta stolicy – Pawła Rudnickiego (Maciej Stuhr). Wkrótce plan internetowego hejtera zaczyna nabierać coraz realniejszych kształtów, a droga do jego realizacji wiedzie przez wirtualny świat popularnej gry komputerowej. (Kino Świat)

I wanted the ending to be a little different and it didn't quite fit with how everything kept working out for the main "hero", but I can't deny that the film is stylish, worldly, nasty and chillingly contemporary and I was constantly wondering what would happen next, where it would lead and how it would end.

Perversely clever and very pertinent. This goes from a banal ballad about people making fun of a former law student becomes an unexpectedly well thought through and, as it turns out, very bloody probe into the world of manipulative social media. Komasa makes light work of presenting us this chillingly realistic story of social engineering with the confidence of a world-famous director. Excellently acted and suspenseful to the end.

One of the best films I've seen in a while is unexpectedly from Poland, who are one of the best in Europe lately, because what they've been doing lately is unreal. The story focuses on Tomek, he has been expelled from law school for plagiarism and finds an interesting job that involves destroying people's lives, and since he's a bit of a psychopath, he dives into it full force. He's highly intelligent, quick-witted, cool, and plays it perfectly. The film has a great story, good characters, an uncomfortable atmosphere, intelligent dialogue, lots of interesting ideas that at times make you think "this is really powerful", and quite originally, it also includes a virtual world, where Tomek plans some nasty things with a computer game. The finale is so shocking and chilling that it will leave you speechless. The Hater is, in one sentence, a riveting psychological Fincher-like thriller from Poland! I recommend it!! Story*****, Action***, Humor>No, Violence***, Entertainment*****, Music****, Visuals****, Atmosphere*****, Suspense****. 8.5/10.

The Polish filmmakers offered me a chilling look into the life of a spineless and unscrupulous motherfucker (pardon my French, I just couldn't help it) while providing a powerful viewing experience. The main bastard (no, I really can't call this guy a hero) is a character who reminded me of Heydrich, as he too focused only on personal gain, without pausing to consider the means used or the fate of the people he took advantage of. The filmmakers have done an excellent job.
