What We Leave in Our Wake is a documentary that meanders through some pretty dense themes, like emigration and socialism, all while nodding to the intricate web of Irish mythology. It’s not just a straightforward narrative; instead, the film flows through conversations that feel almost intimate, revealing how deeply the church and land are woven into the fabric of Irish life. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments to breathe and sink in, which gives you time to reflect on the striking imagery. There's a rawness to it, an honesty in the way it unpacks these topics, making it feel like you're eavesdropping on a conversation rather than just watching a film. It’s definitely distinctive in its approach to storytelling.
