Becoming Mona

This film took my breath away. Such beautiful and powerful acting. From the first minute to the last it got under my skin. The situations and interactions are so recognizable that I worked through a variety of emotions, from childlike melancholy to raw hatred. The filmmakers did the story by author Griet op de Beeck more than justice, you do not need to have read the book to appreciate this film. Better to first see the film and than read the book I think.
