Murina (2021)

Josh:

I feel like I’ve been watching variations of this story for decades now, but this one is gracefully acted, wonderfully specific in its milieu, and I love the way Kusijanovic and cinematographer Louvart shoot the water. ⏰⏰⏰⏰

Steph:

However the viewer interprets the ending will certainly color their experience of Murina, but one thing is certain: the young woman at the heart of it—trapped in an abusive, patriarchal nightmare with no one willing to help her—reminds us of our failures as a culture to end domestic violence—or to even take it seriously. ⏰⏰⏰
