COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Ida = 5 star movie submitted by jeansager on November 29, 2014, 12:01pm Great understated documentary movie which makes you a participant versus a viewer.

Makes you want to learn more about Polish history, what family tragedies we don't talk about but still affect us, and the kind of spiritual dialogue and relationship we have with ourselves that determines our actions, and how others respond to us.

A 'don't miss' movie!

heartbreaking submitted by smgop on July 29, 2017, 7:44pm Couldn't watch any more.

BEAUTIFUL. submitted by AGAPHD on June 21, 2020, 12:16pm This film is stunning. Each frame could be a photograph. It's also an interesting reflection on memory and trauma.

So good. submitted by jibkidder on June 14, 2022, 10:28pm Landed on this after an interview with Paul Schrader (big influence on First Reformed), and wow, a film this minimal but with such a clear narrative and emotional punch, something special.
