Ida is a beautifully shot film that captures the stark contrasts of 1960s Poland. It's not just a story of discovery; it’s a deep dive into identity and loss. The pacing is deliberate, which really allows you to soak in the atmosphere and the emotional weight of Anna's journey.

The film's use of black and white adds a haunting quality, making every frame feel like a lingering memory.
