All For The Best

About This Movie

All For The Best is a fascinating blend of comedy and drama set against the backdrop of the Nagorno-Karabakh War. The film's tone fluctuates between the absurd and the tragic, especially when two families get wrapped up in the mystery of a corpse in a zinc coffin. The pacing allows for those moments of tension and levity to coexist, drawing you into a world where identity and belonging are deeply contested. The performances feel very grounded, capturing raw emotions amidst chaos. What really stands out is the film’s exploration of cultural tensions, exemplified through the surprising twist of the soldier's identity. It’s a distinctive narrative that tackles profound themes with a touch of dark humor—definitely a unique piece in the post-Soviet cinema landscape.
