What I will never understand is why the heck everytime a character is presented as a trashy one he doesn't get a glimpse of chance FOR CHANGE? I am not a fan of long movies, but I would totally accept IF the main character had a transformation!

My biggest problem is not that this movie is the classical Bulgarian tragico-depressing-kill-my-own-molecles-vibe, but that it's about a teeneger, who is this in 100%! Some of the creators say that the ,,chalga" is to blame, but now I say that an abbys without a bottom with falling rocks is! After darkness comes the light, that's a freakin Universe rule - LEARN IT!

The movie was not finished in many ways, even if the ending was as stragic as the current one - which, by default, I didn't fully understand.

It's pitty because the movie was catching, it deffinitely has dynamics and the acting was good. But that's not enough, just like the audio, which was bad - as usual... Jesus, sometimes I say to myself ,,If I had enough money I'BE DAMNED if I don't make the most positive, cheerful and natural Bulgarian movie, EVER"! And recently I really think about it. A lot.

So yes, this are my two big problems - Thure is too handsome for this part and the chemistry between him and Antonia is too real and too inappropriate. Having this contrary to the main idea facts, I found it extremely hard to concentrate on the storyline, cinematography and acting. You probanly think that I romanticize the Stockholm syndrome or something like that. One huge NO. When I watch a movie, I watch each detail in it. That's all. As far as I tried, I found out that the acting was mostly okey, but I can't say the same thing about the story. It is understandable that the scenes will be hard to watch and so on but c'mmon - you can't narrate eight years in random situatations just like that. This is a movie and as a such, it should tell a story. In spite of and because of the subject. I have read a comment that it seemed as if she doesn't really want to escape. I agree, though I don't see where the problem is. Yes, Antonia had some weak moments, but I don't think this was one of it. Still a mystery to me, probably the directing was poor or the script was misunderstood by the book, I don't know. I also agree that more finnances would have made the movie better. The truth is, I felt a little anger and huge amount of compassion. But...as a whole, the movie didn't really touch me.
