Oli caught it first
at the London Film Festival, calling it «absolutely stunning, one of the year's best films,» and Jess reviewed it in full in Marrakech, agreeing that it's a «small, quiet, polished film that unfolds slowly but with remarkable assurance,» with some «truly remarkable cinematography,» and a «striking central performance» from young Polish actress Agata Trzebuchowska (a non-professional actress who Pawlikowski found
waitressing in his
local cafe).
