“the first Oscar win for the Eastern European country, but the film’s success is bittersweet for many Romanians, given its painful subject matter — particularly since many believe not enough has changed since 2015.”
“no moment when you can take an easy breath, assured that the terrible things you’ve been watching onscreen are finally over.”
