She loved to laugh, and she loved to have fun. A drink or two was just part of it. But when she stayed at home with her new-born baby, something went wrong. The ever-present mother-in-law, the silent and submissive father-in-law, her husband at work… Everyone tells her that she has a problem, but she thinks they just want to hurt her.

Der Trailer stellte den Titel als das Ereignis des Sommers 2024 dar, aber leider blieb der Zauber des Films irgendwo im Schneideraum, sonst kann ich mir nicht vorstellen, wie die Autoren aus einem so großartigen dramatischen Material, das das Leben selbst schrieb, ein Medley aus Mini-Lebensepisoden kreieren konnten. Die erste Hälfte des Films funktioniert wirklich nicht, es wird von einem Ort zum anderen gesprungen, von einer Zeitperiode zur anderen... Ich verstehe, dass dies vielleicht dazu dienen sollte, den Handlungsablauf zu beschleunigen und die Schwüle und das Drama in Gang zu bringen, aber bei mir hat es überhaupt nicht funktioniert. Die zweite Hälfte des Films ist deutlich besser. Die Handlung knüpft endlich besser an und es ist einfacher, die Entwicklung der Charaktere zu verfolgen. In der Postproduktion haben sie sich endlich beruhigt und aufgehört, Werbung für Alkohol, Kamerakreationen und visuelle Effekte zu machen... Drei Sterne hat der Film für die Schauspielleistungen verdient, die von allen absolut großartig und mitreißend waren, und auch für die Geschichte selbst, die wirklich stark ist und definitiv Aufmerksamkeit verdient.

Watching Her Drunken Diary is sometimes like coming across an article titled “Ten Signs That You Have a Drinking Problem” among Prosecco ads in a lifestyle magazine. It’s a bit baffling when you use advertising aesthetics while pointing out in a cautionary way how alcohol ads connote luxury and such pleasure that your grey life will be inundated with saturated colours. However, this film is not pointless. ___ In the protagonist’s life, the colours gradually fade until shades of green predominate (her return to herself is unsurprisingly symbolised by red, the colour of life). As in melodramas, the development here happens not in the psychological depths, but mainly on the surface, whether that involves coloured surfaces or the protagonist’s body with her increasingly puffy face and a larger number of spots and bruises. And also as in melodramas, Míša’s fall is fatalistically reported starting with the first shot (and then a few flashforwards and an encounter with a homeless man). Otherwise, life with alcohol is realistically depicted as a spiral, when a person cannot escape the pattern of addiction and falls into the same shit again and again (and generally falls and stumbles...often like the characters in Marie Poledňáková’s comedies).___The protagonist’s predisposition to addiction is indicated by one brief flashback from her childhood with her alcoholic father. We similarly have to infer her background and what she actually does for a living (in any case, money is not a problem for her, as she moves to a large apartment in the centre of Prague). Her Drunken Diary is not really a psychological or social drama, though it does show conspicuous signals here and there that alcohol is a society-wide problem due to, among other things, the normalisation of drinking at parties, at home, after work... For me, this was mainly a love story about a woman who chose between a bottle of wine and a partner and ultimately – during the final act, when a lot of things suddenly happen all at once and everything is absurdly condensed – decides to focus on love primarily of herself. Thanks in part to limiting it to the most typical situations, I think this story may be inspiring for a lot of people in the target audience, especially in combination with the accompanying prevention campaign. 65%
