Repetitive and boring

Rating: 5/10 (3 February 2019)

Cold War is cinematically very beautiful and clearly someone put some thought into it, but that didn't extend through character development. Frankly, I thought the relationship between the two main characters was weird. It's rife with stereotypes about the era; wiktor is much older than zula and zula is the "crazy, unpredictable lover." Many things remain unexplained as the viewer jumps year to year, also they age zula throughout the movie more than wiktor (he is the classic silver fox and looks more or less the same throughout). As other reviews have mentioned, their relationship is not so believable- they have very little chemistry and very few full conversations throughout the movie. I'd skip this one, wish I saw a different movie at the theater.
