What a visual feast this breathtaking elegy is. Keren Kraizer, a Brussels-Israeli performer and photographer, plays Ada with a subtlety that takes your breath away. It's almost like a performance by Marina Abramovic: the emotions stream from her face, while she barely breathes.

David Williamson serves here as both cinematographer and director, and pulls off that task fantastically. His work breathes pure cinema.
