Us, Forever Ago is the kind of movie I was glad I could watch on my laptop at my leisure, because it’s complex and opaque enough, at times, to warrant a second or even a third viewing. Irina Varina, who wrote, starred in, and directed Us, Forever Ago, has crafted a fractured, occasionally muddled, but emotionally compelling quasi-fictional narrative about what it means to be an artist, and of Varina’s own artistic self-formation.
