Losing Us

Losing Us delivers a tough subject with an intelligent, light and artistic hand. It is emotional and hard-hitting, it will probably make you cry, but it also has a strong underlying sense of strength and hope. The photography was beautifully done and generally the whole film was well crafted and well cast. The actors belie a bond that I suspect goes beyond the script - this was a strength in itself. As a film covering the subject matter of Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery I think it stands alone and portrays the positive strength of Albanian culture which the usual cliches do not do. I came away feeling the weight of opportunities lost which could have changed the fate of the characters. It is a story that will stay with you and I think that's the very best we can ask of a film!
