Born Just Now is a striking documentary that really digs into the intricate layers of personal trauma and resilience. Marta Jovanović, the artist at the center, uses her own experiences—an eight-year marriage marked by violence—as a canvas to explore broader themes of motherhood and the scars left by the Balkan wars. The pacing can feel contemplative, allowing you to sit with the weight of her revelations. The atmosphere is raw and intimate, with Jovanović's performances drawing you in like a whisper, rather than shouting for attention. It’s not flashy or overproduced; rather, it relies on the power of real emotion and endurance, making it a distinct piece that lingers long after viewing.
