Is It Easy To Be...? After 10 Years

About This Movie

So, this one is a fascinating follow-up to Juris Podnieks’ earlier work. You get to revisit those young faces from 'Is It Easy To Be Young?' after a decade. It's pretty intriguing, really. The tone feels nostalgic yet heavy, and you can sense the weight of time on these characters. The pacing is contemplative—lots of moments where you just sit with their reflections. Themes of aspiration and disillusionment weave through their stories, and the performances feel authentic, almost raw at times. There’s this unpolished beauty in how they share their journeys. It’s not flashy, but it digs deep into the human experience, showing how dreams evolve—or sometimes fade away entirely. That Leipzig award? Well, it speaks to the film's impact, you know?
