Ida

Tonight we watched “Ida,” a Polish movie about a nun who discovers her parents were Jewish.  Her mother superior sends her to an aunt who takes her on an odyssey through her own past, the death by holocaust murder of her parents, and hedonistic sensations (jazz music, tobacco, vodka . . .). Gab liked the story.  I thought it was formulaic and meh.  ** out of *****.  Miss this one.

At Rotten Tomatoes the critics and viewers liked it a lot


. . . which is why we watched the video.
