Acid is a psychological drama that breaks down the idea of stable society. It excels by acknowledging the chaotic, personal experiences of young people who feel disconnected from traditional societal norms. The film’s strength lies in its rejection of conventional moral frameworks. However, the film lacks substantial racial diversity, focusing mainly on a homogeneous urban Russian population. While it provides a sophisticated critique of social structures, it does not offer much representation for disabilities or neurodivergences. Overall, the film stands as a compelling exploration of emotional vulnerability and the collapse of traditional social support systems.

They have been abandoned in a world adorned with concepts such as family, friendship, love, and opportunities.

And to find their way.
