Ida (2013): Good, but very bleak...a bit short too.
Cold War (2018): After watching a trailer for the movie I thought it would be very good, but was disappointed.rnAt 85min, I found this far too short, and a bit disjointed.rnThe story moves to Paris in 1964 too quickly.rnGood cinematography and acting.
