Wow, that was extra-ordinary. But perhaps a little bit too "extra-ordinary"... An incomprehensible love story. Love may be a mysterious thing and art doesn't always have to tell us the "typical" phenomena. Here we don't understand personal motives, yet feel the bleakness that occur as a result. Neither do we see any real social context of "cold war". It remains just an accidental decor. It could happen anywhere as well. Yet, it's still a touching madness...

I didn't really understand the romance. The singing was great. I liked the passage of time and seeing how they grew throughout the entire movie, though the last part was a huge time jump. Joanna Kulig is gorgeous. Borys Szyc fit his part perfectly. Fav scene: Kulig running back to kiss Tomasz Kot. The bathroom scene is nice too.

We learned more from a three-minute folk song romanticizing doomed love and death, baby, than we ever learned from communist re-education.

Pawlikowski knows what he is doing, even if he seems overly concerned with creating a 'classy' impression. Shot in stark B+W like Ida, its frames aren't as reliant on negative space, which makes it less compelling to watch, and the story of doomed love set against a turbulent political backdrop pushes it closer to conventional awards territory, but it's certainly well shot and acted. Shame that the compressed timeline ensures that it's never terribly involving (emotionally).

Now that's some extremely sweet use of 4:3 B&W. Suffocating, intimate, but still vast and sweeping when necessary. Unfortunately though I do have to agree with the folks that had a hard time getting invested into anything beyond the aesthetics - the romance leaping from crossroads to crossroads with little development in between was kinda disappointing.

I can think of few directors whose command of historicity matches that of Pawlikowski's -- through set design, through score, through costuming and frame ratio. Every shot is thoroughly crafted with an unyielding eye for smouldering beauty and minute detail; every shot is, in essence, a love story to Eastern Europe.

A great movie with excellent visuals and surprisingly engaging music performances. My favorite part of this film though is how the historical setting is perfectly integrated into these lovers' lives so that it emphasizes, and not overshadows, this intimate narrative. I will say though that both of the lovers could have been characterized better - the motivations (or lack thereof) for their actions is not always effectively communicated to the audience.

Glorious runtime! You have to respect the ambition of telling an epic love tragedy in 85 minutes. Unfortunately it doesn’t really work. I didn’t believe in their initial love which is the foundation for the rest of the film. I still enjoyed the closely trimmed, almost abrupt, storytelling technique.

A subtle display of love's true capacity between two hearts. Without saying much, it's heavy visuals build on this desirable war that deems one brutal, clear escape. Perhaps one of my favourite cinemas aesthetically in 2018, and although I wasn't personally entwined with it, I can appreciate how simply beautiful this is as a whole.

Pawlikowski on the sheer power of love. Where love transcends rule, then where love transcends war, and eventually, where love transcends life itself. Every moment feels so exact in its gentle importance to helping us understand the presence of love without ever needing to understand the lovers themselves. I'm in awe of it's simplistic perfection.

The cinematography was amazing! But somehow the script went a bit weird for me. Maybe this much anti-communism ruined it, if you ask me.

A masterpiece in visual storytelling-not a shot nor a line of dialogue feels wasted, and remarkably the film is able to span 10+ years and multiple countries in 90 minutes without feeling rushed or choppy. The characters and the romance plot do lack a bit of substance, but somehow the stunning cinematography and strong, subtle turns from the two leads together are able to convey an intangible sort of depth hidden in the passionate looks of the couple and the probing, poignant eye of the camera.

Jaw droppingly gorgeous. The fluidity of the images (even in the jarring cuts to black) makes it an entertaining watch. I like the lean-ness of the runtime in theory. But I don’t get a sense of who Zula is. The film is in the pianist’s POV, but I’m not sure it’s in the design of the film to think she just kind of sucks. But I have to grade this highly for the beauty, emphasis on tone, and amazing music.
