Positive

About This Movie

Positive is a fascinating dive into the lives of three women in Kyiv, working with those old-school film strips. There's this raw charm to how they navigate their world, surrounded by dusty reels and the gentle clatter of editing bays. Their fear of computers contrasts sharply with the rich history of cinema they inhabit, creating an atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and somewhat claustrophobic. You can almost feel the weight of the lost stories in their lives, the simple joy of breeding cats, and the oddity of their Oscar-watching rituals. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really soak in the textures of their existence. It's less about the big narrative and more about the small moments that define them, which makes it stand out in the documentary genre.
