Apart in the World is a fascinating documentary that follows Boris Babaev, an Orthodox Jew from Tajikistan, as he navigates his new life in Poland. The film has a raw, almost intimate feel; it's not glossy or overproduced, which I find refreshing. You really get a sense of Boris's struggles and triumphs. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of both his past and present. There’s a poignant theme of identity and belonging that resonates throughout. What stands out is Boris’s unexpected role as a sort of mentor or hero for young Polish Jews — it’s unexpected and adds a layer of complexity to his character. The honesty in the interviews and the practical effects used to recreate certain moments are commendable.
