      Rita E Fabulous, just fabulous. Anxiously awaiting The Zone of Silence by Pawlikowski too. FYI, you can watch Ida for free on Tubi, if you don't have a lot of $ like me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/24/23 Full Review sam s Wonderful movie with a great cinematography Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Arthouse foreign movie that I cannot figure out why it is ranked so high? It is ok but nothing spectacular. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A quiet, understated, and devastating piece from Pawlikowski. Its bleak setting and minimal dialogue provide an insight into Eastern Europe post World War 2 as people learn how to deal with the atrocities committed and the eternal sense of nothingness from living under the Soviet Union. So little is said but so much can be taken away. Shoutout to the Gleesonator for the recommendation on this one Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review jaime h Stunning grace! moving and amazing Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Tony S A very quiet and melancholic film, with very unique and insistent framing, static long shots, full of dead space and dead eyes of the characters. A story about identity, that tries to not show explicit sense of victimhood towards the events it portrays, which is admirable. The sorrow and pain are there but that's not what is in the foreground. What takes away from the movie is the opacity of the Ida herself. Even if it's the intent, in the best style of Bresson. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/07/21 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      J. Hoberman Tablet Ida is not only an evocation of early '60s Poland, the period of Pawlikowski's childhood, but a film that gives the illusion that it could have been made then. Dec 31, 2015 Full Review Peter Travers Rolling Stone Now that Paweł Pawlikowski's haunting Polish film has been nominated for a foreign-language Oscar, Ida is back in the conversation. Let yourself be enveloped by a modern cinema classic. Rated: 4/4 Feb 6, 2015 Full Review A.A. Dowd AV Club Nestled within its sins-of-the-elders narrative is a faintly charming cross-generational bonding picture, pairing a worldly cynic with a young girl taking her last gasp of secular air before giving her life to the Lord. Rated: B+ Jan 5, 2015 Full Review Giuseppe Sedia Kino Mania There is no overt outrage in the film, just an oppressive silence of grief. The stillness is occasionally interrupted by the sounds of Poland’s nascent youth culture played in lonely interiors à la Edward Hopper. Rated: 5/5 Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Q.V. Hough Vague Visages If there’s one film from 2014 that I would recommend to casual moviegoers, this is it. Visually, Ida is my favorite film of the year and Agata Trzebuchowska’s screen presence will leave a mark on anyone who watches. Jun 23, 2023 Full Review Noah Berlatsky Everything is Horrible (Substack) Ida (2013) is a film about Jewish trauma featuring a nun. It’s also perhaps the Holocaust film I’ve seen that caters least to Christian perspectives and Christian narratives. There is no salvation here. May 22, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
