Emotional meltdowns and elliptical narrative leaps follow, leaving plot and to🍷ne wobbling.

In more restrained mo𒅌ments, Szumowska’s take on familiar material is sure, sensitive and jud🥂iciously shot by DoP Michal Englert, whose sometimes rapturous but rough ‘n’ ready visuals juggle the sacred and the profane.
