Valhalla (2024) provides an immersive look into the life of a Ukrainian editor, juxtaposing her creative process in Prague with the chaos of her sister's birthday in Dnipro. It's a documentary that leans heavily into the tension of the moment, blending personal narrative with broader socio-political events—Wagner's advance on Moscow adds a gritty backdrop. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to digest the emotional weight of each scene while the editing style reflects the rawness of the subject matter. The practical effects are minimal but effective, heightening the realism. There's an authenticity in the performances, especially in the editor's reflections, that pulls you into her world while reminding us of the larger conflicts at play.
