Michael says: “Pitch-perfect film about a couple in Lithuania who enter a divorce just as the the Russia Ukraine War begins. The pair, and their young daughter, must navigate the social unrest even as their personal lives start to unravel. Writer/director Andrius Balzevicius creates dryly humorous and emotionally moving story of two people struggling to balance their self-involved angst with their social activism. Amelija Adomaityte gives a stunning breakout performance as young daughter Dovile, struggling to understand her parents divorce while experiencing the cruelty of the neighboring war. 4 1/2 cats”
