Closest to God is a raw and gritty exploration of contemporary Ukraine, depicting the personal costs of conflict through the lives of two families torn apart by war. The film's pace shifts from somber reflection to intense moments of action, mirroring the chaos of the Donetsk frontlines. The performances are quite compelling, especially that of the lawyer who, despite his privileged background, finds purpose in the battlefield, only to face a tragic end. It's like a love letter to resilience, showcasing how the human spirit can endure even in the darkest times. The practical effects used in the war scenes add a layer of authenticity that truly immerses you in the reality of the situation.
