Bába

A pretty “unpleasant” and very introspective film. If you have any experience looking after someone gravely ill, the effect will be much more intense. After the screening I really didn’t feel like laughing and I’m not surprised that it was successful in Cannes. (4/10/2010 Lumírova tříska) (08/10/2010)

A successful film which, in addition to a rather stifling atmosphere, also offers a very careful ethical question... Aware of its options, however, the film remains somewhere halfway between documentary and stylization. I liked the natural dialogues, the actors and the simple but functional contrast of age versus youth. And also the fact that Bába does not side with either end of the spectrum. The topic of unsentimental dying is also quite unseen in the Czech Republic... Overall a promise. (14/05/2009)
