I 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.
