Our take

A stunning tale of faith and redemption, Jan Komasa’s Oscar®-nominated drama features a gut punch of a performance from Bartosz Bielenia. Echoing the central tension between devotion and deception, the setting of a rural village harbors undercurrents of restless turmoil beneath its pastoral façade.
