Nicolas Farkas

Nicolas Farkas isn’t exactly a household name—yet—but the man’s got a filmography that’s starting to look seriously stacked. In 2024, he’s popping up with The Assessment, which, let’s be real, is one of those movies that creeps up on you with a plot that takes a sledgehammer to your expectations. You’ve got these characters, each more flawed and weirdly relatable than the last, thrown into a scenario that’s equal parts tense and uncomfortably close to home. It’s not your typical popcorn fare—think more along the lines of a slow-burn that leaves you chewing on the ending for days. And then, boom, he’s got Berlín (2023) under his belt too. This one’s a gritty ride through the underbelly of the city—yeah, you know, all neon lights, shadowy deals, and characters who’ve got more secrets than friends. The pacing’s tight, the dialogue snaps, and you’re never quite sure who’s pulling the strings, or if anyone’s actually in control. Not exactly a love letter to the city, but more like an unfiltered snapshot of what happens when ambition and desperation collide. Don’t sleep on The Helicopter Heist (2024), either. Farkas dives headfirst into the heist genre, but he’s not about to give you the same tired blueprint. Instead, expect double-crosses, some surprisingly hilarious moments, and a crew of misfits who seem like they’d lose a fight to a Roomba. There’s adrenaline, sure, but it’s the sharp writing and offbeat character moments that make it stick. Farkas might not be a superstar yet, but give it time—he’s clearly got his finger on the pulse.
