Lilja 4-ever

I watched Lilja 4-ever because I've been going on a foreign film spree lately and the description was very intriguing. The movie was not what I was expecting though. It's a very dramatic film, very well executed from the perspective and emotional viewpoint of the 16-years-old protagonist, Lilja. It's also a very disgusting film because of its subject matter. And pretty depressing as a result. I don't want to reveal what the film is really about, because not knowing helps the film impress itself upon you as things are revealed. Still, this is a powerful film with excellent acting that will let you glimpse into something you probably did not want to know about.
