Girls

About This Movie

So, 'Girls' is this harrowing dive into the lives of women in Russia who face a reality that’s just suffocating. It’s really raw, you know? The documentary doesn’t shy away from showing the brutalities they face—physical and psychological violence that feels all too real. The pacing is deliberate, almost like it’s forcing you to sit with the discomfort. It captures the bleak atmosphere of these women’s lives, and there's a haunting quality to the interviews. The performances, if you can call them that, are incredibly real; it’s almost like they’re not performing at all. This film is distinctive in how it portrays resilience amidst such dire circumstances—definitely a tough watch but worth noting for its unflinching look at these issues.
