    Ida

    Reviewed by

    There is much to like about this movie. The story is superb. The direction is excellent. I love movies where there is more silence than talk. The scene where Ida says goodbye to her aunt outside of the convent is one the most poignant scenes on film. Not a word was spoken. There was silence for such a long time. But that pause allows the viewer to review the relationship between aunt and niece and their family history. Beautiful. But there were things I didn't like about this movie. I don't think there is any reason for anyone to film in black and white these days. I don't think it adds to any "mood" of the picture. I don't think it shows things anymore stark than colour could do. And I absolutely hated the shots that put the people in a tiny corner of the foreground and left a building or part of a building to fill up the 98% of the screen. If it wasn't for that, I would have given the film a 9.
