The end of summer in Like Never Before also means the end of a life. Painter Vladimír Holas is dying. He doesn't want to die in a hospital, so his country home in the middle of a beautiful landscape is his last resort. There are two women with him: Karla, younger and a painter like Vladimír, is a bohemian and doesn't flinch at using bad language. The older Jaruna is a nurse, the painter's former lover, and very different from Vladimír and Karla. All three fight useless battles against death, against themselves, and among themselves. A moving drama in which dying is no easy matter and caring for a dying person is an ordeal. (texto oficial de la distribuidora)

Un drama psicológico que es una indagación difícil de digerir en los procesos de pensamiento de los personajes, sus relaciones, motivaciones y conflictos. Las excelentes interpretaciones de Petra Špalková, Jiří Schmitzer y Taťjana Medvecká se combinan con un gran guión del autor debutante y la precisa dirección de Zdeněk Tyc, que obviamente logró realizar su visión sin concesiones. Los personajes están muy bien escritos y los diálogos son inteligentes. Es una película checa realmente excepcional, de una calidad sin precedentes.

Como nunca, definitivamente merece más espectadores que solo tres mil. Es un drama psicológico íntimo muy sólido que destaca, sobre todo, en Jiří Schmitzer, cuyo papel le sienta maravillosamente. Si Petra Špalková es mejor que Táňa Pauhofová es algo que se puede debatir mucho y es solo una cuestión de opinión. Espero que haya sido reñido. No hay muchos películas como estas, por lo que necesitarían una mayor promoción. La pregunta es si el público checo está dispuesto a ir al cine para ver una película así.

A toned down picture which paradoxically would have benefitted from being even more toned down and primarily less shallow. Departure, the true face of love, father-son relationship... It bites into many themes. But most of them stop at that bite, however juicy these themes are. But I would have welcomed fewer mouthfuls, but more substantial. Not introducing more and more characters as the movie advances and naively addressing timeless themes, but to sticking with the untraditional Karla - Vlada - Jaruna relationship triangle would have been more than enough.

Profound thoughts twisted by bizarre psychology and a promisingly provocative topic destroyed by questionable acting performances. No disrespect to Jiří Schmitzer or Petra Špalková, who literally work themselves to the bone, but when two shrilly alienating scenes overshadow one honestly delivered scene, I don't have much to draw on. Producer Ondřej Trojan was quotes as saying after the screening that they managed to create something hard to find in Czech cinema, but there is a lot of it at international festivals – a well-made drama about death and dying. That said, if there was anything of that to be found in the dozens of unnecessarily tiresome shots of glasses, wheels, and landscapes, I certainly didn't find it.

Zdeněk Tyc and other encounters with depression, death, individualism, strong acting performances, and very interesting dialogues. Indeed, the etudes of Špalková and Medvecká often resemble a staged theatrical duet, while Schmitzer just exists through the role, and the ending is truly a full-fledged catharsis. So we could actually find Zdeněk? The paths of his career are indeed winding.
