Our take

Renowned for the cryptic nature of his plots, Lithuanian auteur Sharunas Bartas casts himself in this finely meditative drama. Impeccable in its tight close-ups, and a stand-out for the authenticity of all performances, Peace to Us in Our Dreams offers an atmospheric dissection of family dynamics.
