My Love

About This Movie

So, 'My Love' is this fascinating documentary that digs deep into cultural expectations—especially the whole Kazakh-Russian marriage taboo, which is pretty interesting. The granddaughter, defying her grandma Zeinegul’s beliefs, returns to Kazakhstan years later, and you can really feel the tension in her family dynamics. It’s raw, you know? The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in the contrasting lives—her mother's struggles, her grandma's devoutness, and the father’s new life. The performances, though not trained actors, pull you in with their authenticity. There’s this almost ethereal quality to the way they interact, making the film feel personal and reflective. It’s like you’re peeking into a family’s heartache and resilience, layered with cultural conflict.
