Moyi dumky tykhi

I watched this movie twice - once in Ukraine, at a group screening - the director provided the film to us upon request - and we all had a blast. The second time I watched it in the US with my American partner.

This movie has a lot of really awesome cultural jokes that hit home in the right context, but some of the jokes needed explanation for an American viewer. But I appreciate that - I admire the director making movies for Ukrainians, and not for some imaginary audience. Moyi Dumky came out very authentic and real - I felt like the characters were written off my family members and our strained but loving relationships.

The movie was shot beautifully, if anything you will find yourself aesthetically pleased.
