Let me start by saying, I thought this film was difficult to get through – but at the same time, it kept me captivated and anxious to see what could possibly happen next. The level of cruelty in staggering, yet sadly, I'm sure things of this nature happen quite often. There were several times when I simply starred wide-eyed at the screen in disbelief. I wanted Ale to snap and retaliate, but she takes it all, without a peep. Hard to believe kids can be that cruel.
Cinematically, I thought the camera work was done well. Great composition of shots, and the lighting was great throughout. There were many long shots, and not a lot of dialogue, which made the film unfold slowly. I thought the direction, and editing were done well. I liked the acting, especially that of Ia, her blank face added a another dimension to the film. Overall, a well made film, though very intense and heartbreaking, making it bit disturbing to watch.
