Her performance is never over the top, which is a common ... more ... feature of such young performers, and you cannot help but feel for her. We see her terror as she is sitting on the train that takes her into the city so she can sell her body to some heartless creature, and her increasing despondency with her situation, interspersed with rare moments of hope; right up until the chilling climax, that let us know she hasn’t given up yet. Artyom Bogucharsky is equally sensitive and brilliant, his portrayal of Volodya, an abused and outcast little boy will break your heart. The suppor...more |

“Lilja 4-Ever” is the harrowing tale of a teenage girl living in poverty somewhere in Russia. Make no mistakes, it’s a harsh, painful and uncompromising film that has considerable flaws, but is still one that everybody should see. We open with a flash-forward scene. A bloody and beaten girl is running down a street, trying to get away from someone or something. She is dirty and clearly terrified. How did it come to be like this? We flash back to many months earlier, and Lilja is a sixteen year girl living in a slummy neighbourhood. Her mother tells her her new boyfriend is taking her to America, and she will send for Lilja soon. Lilja accurately ... Read the complete review

This is not a film for sensitive minds. Lilya-4-ever, directed by Lukas Moodysson (Togehter, Show me love), takes a really different turn than his previous movies. The film takes place in Russia and tells the horrific story of sixteen year old Lilya. The film starts with Lilya being abandoned by her mother who runs off to America in search of a better life. The idea is that she is going to send money to Lilya so that she can follow later, but instead Lilya receives a message from the social services that her mother has disowned her, and that Lilya is now an orphan. Volodja, a younger boy, soon becomes her only friend. He is in love with her, ... Read the complete review

Lilja 4-Ever is the story of a girl living somewhere in the former USSR, the Lilja of the title, and how she came to become a prostitute in Sweden. It is written and directed by Lukas Moodysson, who was widely praised for his previous film, Together. And as you may expect from the subject matter, it's not a fun film. Sixteen year old Lilja's life seems to be taking a turn for the better when her mother promises to take her with her to the U.S.A when she goes with her American boyfriend. However her happiness is short-lived as she's forced to stay behind, put into the care of her mother's sister, a grim and unpleasant woman who rapidly forces ... Read the complete review
