I took a page out of justheretofillthevoidās book and watched a movie shortly after waking up, while drinking my coffee. It was lovely and something I expect to do more often!
Something I loved about this movie is it felt real. It wasnāt a stretch of the imagination to think these characters exist, or love each other. Seems small but a lot of movies get it slightly off, so I appreciate it when it happens.
As most people have shared, yes this move is about grief, but I think they did a phenomenal job of showing generational trauma. That which isnāt dealt with, in this case because it was so atrocious and their grandma just needed to survive, is passed down until it demands to be felt.
Overall, a very human film that made me feel a lot of thingsš

šI had been waiting what felt like a year and a half for this movie. In Mexico we donāt get most nominated films immediately. Instead theater chains do a āfilm festivalā marketing in Jan (which tends to be a slow month for films) and they bring every single nominated film scattered throughout jan-feb. So I did a mini film festival for myself, on mon i watched āa complete unknownā, yesterday āiām still hereā and today āa real painā.
Itās been a hard week, I was bummer out that i was feeling sad when i had been waiting so long for this one but i got ready, dressed up, walked to the local movie theater and by the time i got there i was feeling so happy and excited.
This movie was exactly what I needed. Without giving too much away, itās about two cousins traveling to Poland to know where their grandmother came from. I traveled there back in 2019 and I really enjoyed seeing places I had been to in a movie I had waited for so long, that was really exciting! Kieran and Jesse playing the role of cousins gave truly amazing, moves-me-to-my-core performances. It was interesting how I could relate to a certain degree with both characters which are polar opposites.
I donāt think I was able to say why I am recommending it, maybe Iām just feeling to much and the feelings havenāt translated into words just yet.
All in all to say, please do yourselves a favor and go watch this one! Iām sure you will love it as much as I have.
