Show Me What You Got

I was fortunate enough to have seen this gorgeous film on the big screen at the St. Louis International Film Festival as a part of the New Filmmaker Forum. The film swept me away, and gave me hope that independent film can still be beautiful and touch upon a mood and style of an important filmic era of the past...but with an utterly unique, fresh approach. If you love "Jules & Jim" you'll feel the echo of that film and the french new wave era. Director Svetlana Cvetko has given us a treat of a film. I'll want to watch this one again.

I was mindlessly surfing a streaming platform when I stumbled onto this film, I didn't bother checking up the movie and just decided to watch it. I found myself 1 hour in enjoying this black and white film. There's a feeling of connection to the characters and how the events in their lives unfold.

The ending was a little wobbly there but a beautiful cinematic experience.

This is an excellent film, and done by an incredibly talented filmmaker. The performances are all so real, and the casting, locations, soundtrack, it all works flawlessly. I really enjoyed this movie.
