Director Edward Berger, who shocked world cinema with the Oscar-winning war film ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’, is back with his latest work in 2025. But this time he takes us not to a battlefield, but to the neon-lit, smoky, dark casinos of Macau, the gambling capital of Asia. “Ballad of a Small Player”, released on Netflix on October 29, has become one of the most talked-about and most “divisive” films of the year.

The main character of this film, the “Small Player”, is played by Colin Farrell, who has repeatedly proven his acting range through films such as ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’. The R-Rated film is a mix of genres, according to the IMDb database: ‘Dark Comedy’, ‘Psychological Drama’, ‘Psychological Thriller’, ‘Crime’, ‘Drama’ and ‘Mystery’.

The plot summary is as follows: “As his past and debts come back to haunt him, a high-stakes gambler (Farrell) hiding in Macau encounters a mysterious kindred spirit. She may hold the key to his salvation.”

The film is based on the novel of the same name by Lawrence Osborne. Over a running time of 1 hour and 41 minutes, Berger builds a character-centric, slow-burn psychological exploration rather than a fast-paced action thriller. The neon-noir visuals of Macau and its inner corruption provide a perfect backdrop for Farrell’s character’s downfall.

However, “Ballad of a Small Player” is a work that has divided audiences and critics alike. It has a low average rating of 5.9/10 from over 3,700 users on IMDb and a Metascore of 49, indicating that instead of the fast-paced ‘Crime Thriller’ that many expected, they were not satisfied with the artful, slow-burn ‘Psychological Drama’ structure they received.

However, its popularity index (Popularity) is at an extremely high position of 270, which clearly proves the influence of the two names Edward Berger and Colin Farrell, and the huge ‘buzz’ that has built up around the film. Although this is not a “must-have” film, it is a creation that cannot be ignored by those who like ‘Arthouse Thrillers’.
