This review is from: Powiedz To Gabi DVD NTSC Say It, Gabi. Region 1 (DVD)
"Powiedz to, Gabi" (Say it, Gabi) plays like a soap opera grabbing your attention as it wavers between story plots that mix together. Gabi (Marta Chodorowska) is an immature pretty 16-year old girl who looks older than she really is. She is impulsive, spunky, and an incredible liar. Gabi likes a much older man (Andrzej Chyra), who lives in the same apartment complex as her. The fact that he already has a fiancé doesn't deter her from fabricating incredible stories to get his attention.
Gabi starts a spree of mischief that begins with stealing a nun's outfit. From there, she occasionally pretends to be a nun. The film is more than the love story of an impulsive and rebellious girl. "Powiedz to, Gabi" brings us a complicated web of drama interconnecting many lives.
The presentation of this story is different from what would be expected. It uses many camera angles and creates a sense of a TV serial. I have to give it credit for being original in its camera presentation, but the fact that the camera is sometimes shaky can get a little annoying. "Powiedz to, Gabi" is a fun movie, but not one that I would expect to win awards.
