Ida 8/10: One of the better movies of the year. It's about a girl in 1962 who is a postulant studying to be a nun that is investigating the murder of her parents during the war. As the plot thickens there's a sense of despair and aimlessness amongst the people she meets. Her aunt was part of the Soviet show trials and is depressed over a wasted life. There's an air of guilt as the history of past persecutions is brought up. She also tries to discover other options for her life before she takes her vows. It's a short movie with amazing black and white cinematography. It could be filmed in a landfill and it would still look great. By keeping it short the movie doesn't overstay its welcome.
