It's Not Us

About This Movie

So, 'It's Not Us' is this quiet slice of life that unfolds during the pandemic, and it almost feels like a diary entry. Skolimowski and his wife, Ewa Piaskowska, decided to just stay in Sicily and document their days, which is pretty much all they had, right? The mood is introspective, almost meditative, as they navigate this strange new reality of isolation. The pacing is slow, letting their conversations breathe, and you really feel the weight of the world pressing down on them. It's all about the little moments—like the sun glinting off the sea or the weight of silence in their home. No flashy effects, just raw performances that draw you in. It’s distinctive for its honesty, like you’re eavesdropping on a couple figuring it all out amidst chaos.
