I watched this movie in the cinema in Ukraine with a friend. We were lucky to be the only ones in the audience because we happened to be there at an early hour on Saturday. It made the experience surreal but the movie itself was very real indeed. The context of social media, reporters and old rooms of the hospital made the scenes life-like - I truly believe that this story happened and many more stories like this are happening right now to the very real people in Ukraine this very moment.
Many things are silent, given as hints. The silence made them even more powerful. It highlighted the horror of war and what the main character has gone through.
I applaud to the work of people on this film, as it was masterful in its production. I loved how costumes made the characters feel like people I see and meet everyday. I look like that too. The actors were so genius - more often than not I forgot that I am sitting before a big screen and felt like I was peeking through at someone's life. The people on screen were real. It was their life I was watching and it was truly heartbreaking.
I wouldn't call the ending of the movie happy or hopeful or good, but it was right. For that I am immensely thankful and recommend this movie to all and everybody. Thank you for this artwork!
