Overview of Georgian Film
The platform Georgian Film Review is dedicated to an overview of modern Georgian film, its
features, trends, major aspects, and new movies; however, the reader will also find some materials from the history of Georgian film and also the best reviews developed in the early years by the film critics of the older generation.

Adolescence is one of the most complicated periods in a person’s life. This is the age when one first tries to make independent decisions, form his own identity and confront the world that used to decide everything for him previously.
