My Favourite Job

About This Movie

My Favourite Job is a raw, poignant look at the human spirit during one of the darkest times. Set against the war-torn backdrop of Mariupol, it captures the harrowing experiences of civilians caught in a deadly siege. The pacing feels deliberate yet urgent; you’re taken through the chaos, the fear, but also the flickers of hope. The volunteers’ efforts to evacuate people are striking, with moments that feel both intimate and vast. There's a documentary realism that draws you in, making the very real stakes palpable. The performances, primarily from non-actors, bring authenticity that you can't shake off. It’s a film that doesn’t shy away from the brutalities of war but also highlights resilience amidst devastation. Quite distinctive.
