[REL] Liza, namo! Lisa, go home! (2012) short [Lithuania]

[Moonee]

I am more and more suspicious of films that IMDB claims are documentaries. After 13 years of this one being here I do not need to make any rash decisions about it. Shorts is fine for now.

I'm not here to change your mind or argue your case

To be honest, I don't really care where a thread is posted.. I just want to mention that IMDb wasn't the only source I came across that claims this movie to be a documentary

This link also mentions it

This isn't a documentary. No way.

It may be confused with fiction, but it is a documentary.

"When I first wrote the first sentence of this review, I accidentally wrote "drama" instead of "documentary." I don't think this is a coincidence, and maybe that's where we should start.[...]
In an interview, talking about the process of making this film, the director mentioned that she had originally planned to film another girl, Dalia, but when everything was ready, it turned out that the director was late because Dalia had changed during that time, she was no longer a child..."

"In Lithuania, "Liza,go home!" was recognized as the best Lithuanian short documentary film in the "New Baltic Cinema" program..."

But I still can't see any documentary elements (as far as I remember). And it has a plot.

Yes, you're right, you can probably leave it in this section. Please check:
"Most of the films of film director Oksana Buraja are characterized by hybridity, i.e. balancing on the border between documentary and feature film."
