Reviews

Polish drama

"How to Be Loved (1963) is a quietly devastating Polish drama that turns memory, guilt, and wartime trauma into an intimate character study. It’s elegant, emotionally layered, and anchored by one of the strongest performances of the Polish New Wave. The film follows Felicja, a former actress whose life was derailed during WWII when she sheltered a fellow performer accused of collaborating with the Nazis. Now working as a radio actress, she reflects on the choices she made—acts of love, sacrifice, and self‑betrayal—and how they shaped the man she protected and the woman she became. The narrative unfolds through reflective flashbacks, creating a hypnotic rhythm that blurs past and present."

— Tarek E. (3/5)

Yellow Veil does Has Right

"A thoughtful, elegant release that rounds out my Has Trilogy. Another Yellow Veil release stacked with features, beautifully handled, and a strong tribute to one of Poland’s great filmmakers. A moving piece of cinema presented with real care, as usual."

— Gregory B. (5/5)
