This
is an uncompromising and unforgettable film. There is not
even a hint of the feel-good factor, yet when you emerge
from the cinema you will feel good that you are where you
are and not where Lilya is.
Moodysson has a knack for showing the world through the
eyes of children. The world of Lilya is one of exploitation,
betrayal and dashed hopes. Her innocence and trust are stolen
and when even the merest glimpse of her dreams comes into
view, a horrible destiny crushes her back down.
Akinshina gives an astonishing performance and is one that
you really should not miss. Stunning.
Critics

you have any kind of heart, this film will rip it out."
