It appears that I'm the first person reviewing Bohdan Sláma's "Bába z ledu" ("Ice Mother" in English), despite the fact that it was the Czech Republic's submission to the Oscars for 2017. Anyway, it's a fine piece of work, focusing on an elderly woman who starts seeing changes in her life and takes up cold-water diving. It's the sort of movie that really requires you to pay attention to understand the profound, multidimensional characters (i.e., the opposite of Michael Bay's movies).
It might not be the greatest movie ever, but I liked the focus on the characters. Some of the swimming scenes might leave you feeling cold, and one of the dinner scenes is enough to make one NOT want to have children (much like a certain scene in "Kramer vs. Kramer"). I recommend it.
