The acting is wonderful. While the story was depressing at times. J aw dropping cinematography, that even though, is black and white, it is immensely appealing. Great to see such quality emerging from Poland and hopefully giving the local talent some recognition internationally.

The quality of the cinematography is quite extraordinary thanks to Lucas Zal. The ensemble performances are strong, the two leads are magnificent and the sense of place and period are perfect. The writing provides the essence of what Cold War was about historically. The simple and very powerful music is beautiful, as is every key shot in black-and-white.
