Film Review of Lilja 4-ever
Year: 2002 Reviewer: Chris Docker
Hard-hitting and heart-wrenching tale of some former soviet 16-year old brat who is forced into prostitution. For such an otherwise well-made film it fails to really address the issues it tries to tackle. It focusses on a single (and non too lovable) girl and, whilst her tale is quite horrific, the film fails to suggest either the more general extent of such terrors or the loopholes through which they operate and could perhaps be tackled.
Rating: 7/10
