Girl

Here is a simple told story on a complicated personal subject. The film radiates humanity in every scene and I would defy anyone to remain unmoved by the hugely challenging journey undertaken by Lara. The touching relationship with her younger brother, her heart-felt conversations with her dad, the visually striking and punishing routines at the dance school; it all combines to create a unique viewing experience. Life is often pain but the film's prevailing theme is one of overcoming in despite of everything.
