Molly's Way (2005)
10/10
A young Irish woman comes to Poland to find a man she has only met for one night. She knows, that he lives in this city and that he works in the coal industry.

She is expecting his baby and she has convinced herself, that she has to find him for things to be alright again. She comes from a highly catholic Irish background and she has not managed to confront her family (and herself) with the fact that she might be a single mother.

A wonderful film. Highly intense, subtle and quiet. Molly's Way through this unknown city is very different from what she expects - but in spite of the the harshness of the surroundings an the rough path she has to manage, I found the film to be full of hope. The Polish actors are outstanding - among them Miroslav Baka, who was in the "Short film about killing". The locations are a revelation and I still carry many of the images around with me. Mairead McKinley as Molly is a sensation. She is at the same time grounded and naive, stubborn and strong. I haven't seen her in any other films yet, but I hope I will soon.
