Prostitution, drugs, suicide, and the seedy Russian/Swedish underworld. This movie was superbly shot on a presumably low budget, and the depressing tones it brings forth was real. I really admired the camerawork, but I didn't really favor the dreamy scenes, for some reason. It just felt really awkward for such a depressing movie. The morbid humor in some of the scenes were nice, but I didn't know whether to laugh or get sad. Oksana Akinshina as Lilja was just incredible, and cute too. She gave an amazing performance, considering she had to use an interpreter to communicate with the director for this film.
3.5/5 stars
