Angels
Director Lukas Moodysson has achieved a film that is so moving that it is hard to forget it after leaving the theater. Images come back into one’s mind about this story about this girl. The tragedy of her life is something to be shocked and alarmed.

To think there are out there, in the so-called civilized world, people that take advantage of girls like Lilja is mind boggling. Lilja’s mother has to be one of the worst monsters ever presented in a film. This woman abandons her 16 year old daughter because she has found a meal ticket with a man that will probably end up leaving her as well.

Lilja is beautifully portrayed by Oksana Akinshina. The actress and her character disappear in front of your eyes. The story is very true as thousands of naive girls are exported from what it was the old Soviet Union to other countries in order to force them into prostitution. This story is constantly in the news, yet more and more young girls are duped into going abroad with the promise of highly paid jobs that exist only for the people who exploit them.

Her only friend is Volodya, also a very sad boy who is thrown out of his own house by an abusive father. Volodya and Lilja form a bond as they cling to one another. The little boy is street wise; he knows the fate that awaits Lilja in Sweden. Their friendship is the only thing they both have.

The sad part of the film is the realization that so called “normal” and perfectly “respectful” people are the same ones that brutalize these children. They use Lilja to satisfy their sexual appetites, then discard her like yesterday’s trash. To know that there are people like that in our society is a very sad commentary about our world.

Contrary to what many people have commented about the film, I thought that in spite of the tragedy of Lilja’s and Volodya’s lives, it had a very positive ending because both are free to run around in a better place together, which is not a luxury most of us have on our time in this planet.

Mr. Moodysson gives us a film that will shock; he dares to go where others wouldn’t. A job well done..

stunning, simply stunning
This movie is in no way perfect. The storyline is not always logical. A couple of scenes are overdone or awkward or simply amateurish. But in the end, that means nothing. This movie is all about making us feel for the characters. And in that respect it’s brilliant. The director, Lukas Moodysson, has an uncanny knack for bringing true emotions to the screen. This is without doubt one of the most harrowing and devastating movies I’ve ever seen. I saw it two days ago, and I still can’t get it off of my mind. I cried in the theater, something I haven’t done since… well… probably ever. I consider myself a rather cynical moviegoer. Mostly the characters in movies don’t move me very much. I just enjoy the ride and try my best to suspend disbelief. But in this movie it’s simply impossible to not feel for the main characters (Lilja and Volodja). Oksana Akinshina simply I S Lilja. Her journey in a downward spiral from bad to worse into hell simply breaks your heart. Because it doesn’t help telling yourself it’s just a movie. Because we all know it isn’t. This kind of thing is happening all around us all the time. And we, the decent ordinary citizens, simply don’t care to see it or do anything about it. The movie is a must-see. Even though you’ll probably be depressed for days, and well might lose some of your faith in the goodness of man. It’s a 10. And if Lukas Moodysson keeps this up he might well end up a bigger name than Ingmar Bergman. No joke. Now excuse me, I must go cry some more for poor Lilja…
