Pete Ohs’s 71-minute Warsaw romance is streaming in the U.S. with a MUBI subscription ($14.99/month after a seven-day trial). Charli XCX plays Bethany, visiting her childhood friend Nel with a new boyfriend just as a volcano erupts. The film stays with flower shops, apartments, trains, clubs and the awkward voltage of people whose old intimacy has outlived their current arrangements.
This is the decisive low-effort choice: short, atmospheric, city-specific and emotionally ambiguous without promising homework. Reviews divide over whether its loose plotting feels graceful or underwritten; even the admirers describe it as contemplative rather than eventful. Go in for Warsaw at night and the relationship geometry, not for geological realism or a mystery payoff.
