Sonja (2006)

Great and very sincere European movie, 11 July 2006
Author: Ellen from Germany
I watched this movie last night and I think it's just wonderful! A very sincerely narrated story about a girl of 15 who is becoming an adult and is beginning to learn herself and her sexuality. The movie is also about Sonja's loneliness, she doesn't seem to understand each other with anyone except for the girl she is in love with. Lots of young people at Sonja's age feel lonely and not understood but it's even worth and so much more difficult if you are gay and you're not sure that the others would be tolerant enough to understand that. The actress played Sonja's character very sincerely although it seems to be her very first movie. The movie is very true to life, many characters can easily be recognized from our own experience as well as the situations they are in, but still the movie is not superficial at all. It addresses very serious topics without being too primitive or too superficial. I would recommend it to everyone who likes thoughtful but not thrilling cinema!

Bad teen angst, 31 October 2006

for - and only for 15 year old girls.
This film is directed by Finnish Kirsi Liimatainen in German film school. Liimatainen is known as an actor in some TV-series in the 90s. Directing is partly just okay, partly rather meaningless. The storyline is bad, the anticlimax of the ending is frustratingly hollow and the actors are empty.. And just how many times do we see the maincharacter step out of a car in the middle of nowhere and start walking pointlessly away in some direction.. or from home... or from anywhere wherever she is in the every single scene. One time she even seem to cross a lake or something. And there's dozens of scenes where the film keeps rolling, filming her while she's alone, with her thoughts (probably wondering when that bulls*** is going to be over)
So... We've had enough of these already. Why couldn't a teenager enjoy this? Of course one can, but as a movie this is just horrible. The maincharacter is Sonja, and she's terribly in love with her best friend, Julia, and she don't know how to say it. Sonja is having hard time in home with her mother, who found out that her daughter is interested in girls. Girls planned, that they'd go to Sonja's dad for a visit, but Julia can't come because she just lost her virginity.. And while Sonja is away from home, why shouldn't she try too. She has sex with his dad's neighbour who looks like he at least 10 years older than her. Blaah Blaah Blaah..
Watch Heavenly Creatures, not this!
