Title says it all. This movie seems to be a flat off rip off of one of my favourite movies Lilya 4 Ever. I wouldn't mind that, but the core difference between the two movies are this: This movie is incredibly unrealistic, and our main characters aren't likeable. In Lilya4Ever, everything that happens, can easily happen in real life. Here, most stuff that happen, are unreal.
Considering this director also copied Wes Craven's movie, Last House on the Left, i am not suprised. What ruins this movie is the logic. I do not mind the plot, the plot was okay. The acting kinda seem wooden at times, but it's kinda okay, and the camera work kinda seems low.
As mentioned, this movie does not make a lot of logic. We start pretty strong, and then after 20-30 minutes, the movie gets really dull and boring. So our main character kills her boyfriend and a nameless man so she could get fame, and she does and she becomes a model? What logic does that make lol? You can say oh it's just a movie. Yeah, but this movie was trying to go for realism, and it did, and then it just decided no lets just make this movie completely unrealistic.
Another thing that really breaks this movie is the fact that our main character, Nandia, she is unlikeable as heck. She comes off as this miss perfect, that wants everything to be how she wants it to be. We are supposed to see her as a VICTIM, and she also said she set her parents on fire. And that's our victim? Where's the logic behind the writing of this movie?
There isn't any other character that has any depth except Martha and Nandia, which is okay, but i just failed to care for either of them, since Nandia comes as extremely unlikeable, while Martha has the personality of a toothpick.
Ultimately, no. Just watch the original Lilya 4 Ever. Or, there's also other movies that do the same subject matter much better like 3096 Days, Christiane F and Your Name Was Justine, every movie i just mentioned is way superior then this.
What also puzzles me is, how did Argyris get ahold of a pistol? He just said he got it. We never got an explaination on how he did so. This movie has so many holes i just listed a few, there's probably more 10 holes you can dug out from this. Also this movie is edited in a way that it goes upside down, it's not going normally like a normal story. No, they edited this in a way that it's so jammed together.
