Shoshana (2023)

B
EDIT
“Shoshana is a look at the past through the lens of a historical figure who saw everything from the beginning up to today. With archive footage to push the story along in the beginning and at the end, Winterbottom smoothly gives us a timeline.” –

A+
EDIT
“In a film born out of rebuilding the future, Green, Reed, and the entire cast produce the fatalism of idealism of what a just world should have been, but that this life is, as always, a zero-sum game.” –
