6 Best Slovak Movies to Watch

By Vlad Zakh · December 25, 2025

Slovakia Drama thought provoking

Slovak cinema shares much of its golden age with Czechoslovakia’s own New Wave, and its recent films keep the same patience for small, morally complicated stories. My Dog Killer tests a neo-Nazi teenager’s gang loyalty, The Interpreter pairs an elderly man with the son of the officer who killed his family, Little Harbour has a neglected ten-year-old secretly raising an abandoned baby, and The Sun in a Net watches a teenage romance fray over one Bratislava summer. The Shop on Main Street and Made in Ash round out the list.
