I Do Not Care If We Go Down in History as Barbarians (2018) review

Filmmaker Mariana Marin (Ioana Iacob) - not the poet! - is working on putting on a "show" to "reenact" the events that took place in the Bessarabia, Bukovina and Transnistria regions during World War II in which over 380,000 Jews were killed, but she gets pushback regarding the controversial subject matter ... and then she finds out she's pregnant with the child of a married pilot and he doesn't want her to keep it.  I have nothing but respect for Jude examining his own country's role in the Holocaust which, to be honest, I had no idea about (they really did a stellar cover-up job) and discussing ways in which nations bury their pasts to only see themselves as "victors" (take a look at the language and denials surrounding both the Armenian genocide and Holodomor), but I wish he'd just do it in a less didactic manner that grinds the movie to a full stop.  It's a little like getting lectured to by the class smart-ass: we know you did your research and are bright ... but maybe not everyone wants to watch a woman read a long passage from a book in a single shot.
