    Light entertainment, this is not. Unforgettable and challenging cinema, it is.
  2. A haunting and incandescent work of art.

    Akinshina and Bogucharskij are remarkable together, and Moodysson once again demonstrates a sophisticated visual skill matched only by his innate understanding of the adolescent heart.
  4. The result is grimly "effective," but it made me long for Hollywood junk.

    If there is a more frightening and effective portrayal of a young girl's slow downfall, I've yet to see it.

    Riveting and powerful study of one girls journey from poverty and abandonment to life as a sex slave. Will impact all but the most cynical & hard hearted viewer, while telling one of the most important stories of the past decade. The issue of pedaling young girls for profit is a story that should be told in every high school. Expand
