Fully calculated framing. Brilliant and standard directing. A bitter and ironic story. An unforgettable experience at least for me.
“Fancy stained glass next to cow shit" ❤️
Amzing direction and extremely emotional
Every. Single. Frame. Could be on a canvas. Simply put, Ida is one of the most stunningly beautiful films you'll ever see.
The black and white cinematography is so beautiful that it's almost distracting.
The black and white photography is stunning here. The story isn't too deep or complex, but good enough to keep one interested.
A quiet, beautiful movie about life and identity. Very moving.
The writing really hits. The acting is also fantastic. It's a mo ie that benefits after multiple watches, especially because of visuals
hypersensitive to the touch like a newborn mimosa. the blooming of the feminine. in such a harsh world, such softness is allowed to exist.
At times deeply upsetting and at others remarkably thought-provoking. A story of discovery and human nature.
