One Of Us offers a revealing glimpse into the lives of Latvian athletes who are juggling their passion for sport with identity challenges. Anastasija Grigorjeva, Igors Vihrovs, and Deniss Vasiļjevs, all standout talents, navigate the tricky terrain of being seen as outsiders within their own country. The documentary's pacing has this almost reflective quality, allowing for moments of introspection as well as triumph. The filmmakers capture the raw emotion in their performances, highlighting how these athletes strive for acceptance and recognition. The atmosphere feels both intimate and expansive, with practical effects used sparingly but effectively to emphasize the athletes' physicality. It’s not just about sports; it’s about belonging and the complex layers of ethnicity in post-Soviet Latvia.
