Rosetta is a character of raw pride in a film of lingering power.
The film has an odd subterranean power. It doesn't strive for our sympathy or make any effort to portray Rosetta as colorful, winning or sympathetic.
This devastating film is buoyed by Dequenne's bravura willingness to go all out; she's a baby-faced kid when the camera focuses full on and an exceptionally beautiful young woman in profile.
Grabs you by the throat and won't let go.
Carries a strong emotional charge along with its valuable reminder of the suffering that youngsters may undergo when a heedless society overlooks their needs.
A psychologically acute profile of one teenaged girl obsessed with leading what she thinks of as normal life.
The Dardennes are talents, clearly. Watching Rosetta is like watching them flip you the bird.
