Ida: Pawel Pawlikowski tells a simple (but far from simplistic) story; it also tells it rigorously, ponderously. Agata Trzebuchowska and Agata Kulesza, as the central characters, interact beautifully, even if only the bare minimum is known about the characters. What truly sets this film apart, however, is the amazing cinematography of Ryszard Lenczewski and Lukasz Zal; every image is nicely (and expressively) framed, and the lighting is always beautiful.
