Especially from women filmmakers.<br /><br />@joel65913-This was impressive as I hope to get through all of her films for a future Auteurs piece on her in the future.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-75666756475554148512021-08-24T19:14:37.680-07:002021-08-24T19:14:37.680-07:00This is a terrific film.

Ida's direction is wonderfully lean and she gets fine performances from her three main performers (not surprising often actors are able to elicit strong work from others since they understand the craft). Considering the slight budget she uses every cent of it wisely. <br /><br />I think this is the best of her directed films but all of them have value. Almost all of them have themes or subjects that were provocative for their time period. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-72108613473475717802021-08-24T18:45:52.303-07:002021-08-24T18:45:52.303-07:00Your film knowledge is astounding!
