Our take
Julia Loktev’s staggering follow-up to her prize-winning Last Air in Moscow trails after an expanding group of brave, clever subjects, now actively on the run from extreme censorship. Challenges of exile course through these opening chapters, each gathering in momentum and near-unfathomable sprawl.
