6/10

While the film meditates on the human condition with stunning artistry, 'Kill It and Leave This Town' also feels lengthy and taxing because of the unbearably bleak material. Many films tackle mortality, longing, and death, but so few have tackled those themes as wholeheartedly (and blended them so surreally) as Wilczyński.
