A film that rips your soul apart. For me perhaps the best film of the

International Rotterdam Film festival. I hope it will come to

Belgium, so I can see it again. Monique Hendrickx and Oksana Akinshina (Lilya Forever) are the

heart of the film and play very well. Very, very well.... I came out crying. I give it 9 out of 10.

It is impossible to rate this movie. Did it move me? Affect me? Oh yes. I feel completely and totally wrecked right now. And that is after 4 stiff drinks and a very lighthearted comedy I saw after this one on the Black Nights Film Festival. I almost walked out of this one - a first in my movie-going career. Not because it was a bad movie, or a boring movie or a pointless movie. But because I was afraid. Of what it could do to me. A definite first for me. Kim-Ki Duk's "The Isle" is child's play compared to this one.

Remember, what you don't see, is the most horrible of all.

No I do *NOT* want to see it again. And I am not sure I can recommend to anybody who has feelings.
