Loud Connection

Loud Connection (Громкая связь, 2019) is a Russian comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Seven friends spend the weekend at a country house and agree to one rule: every text gets read aloud, every call goes on speaker. It starts as a joke.

Irina Gorbacheva, Maria Mironova, Leonid Barats, Rostislav Khait and their companions spend the next 96 minutes having secrets come out in the least convenient order possible. Nobody walked in meaning to confess anything. The game just makes that unavoidable.

Director Alexey Nuzhny keeps the pacing tight and the ensemble sharp throughout. Russia's entry into the dinner-party confessional comedy sub-genre — and it earns its place. Stream Loud Connection online on iFILM.
