So, this one, 'Let's Not Talk About Politics', dives deep into personal and national conflict. It's set against the backdrop of the ongoing war in Ukraine, and honestly, the atmosphere is thick with tension and intimacy. The relationship between the Russian mother and her daughter marrying a Ukrainian is really raw and complex. The phone calls and those nostalgic VHS tapes—yeah, they add a layer that feels both personal and reflective. The pacing is deliberate; it gives you time to sit with the emotions. You can really feel the weight of history and familial bonds. It's a unique approach to a modern crisis, and I think that’s what stands out here.
