English Symmetry represents a special and minority category of films within the prison subgenre, which do not focus on extreme characters, violence, and the psychosis of a disturbed prison world full of psychopaths, sadists, and deviants. Instead, the film aims to describe the psychological transformation of an individual unexpectedly torn from their safety and functioning world into an environment that values completely different things, where it is necessary to adapt to a different value hierarchy and blend in with one's surroundings. Symmetry is the exact opposite of the American film Felon I recently watched. It is a rather intimate film without flashy scenes, relying on the convincing acting of charismatic actors such as Andrzej Chyra and Borys Szyc. It is quite an unpleasant film without the usual American happy ending. No matter who you are, prison will grind you up, and when you come out, you are no longer the same as you were before. Overall impression: 80%. ()
