We're Getting Along is an intriguing piece from 1981 that dives into the gritty social fabric of Hungary. The film centers on a foundry worker who, after losing his wife, hires a female colleague to manage his household, which brings a nuanced take on gender dynamics. The pacing is slow, almost contemplative, allowing the audience to absorb the stark realities of working-class life. There's a rawness to the performances, especially from the leads, that really grounds the narrative in an authentic, if uncomfortable, exploration of exploitation and morality. The cinematography has a gritty texture, lending a sense of realism to the story. It’s the kind of film that lingers with you, revealing more layers upon each viewing.
