Slovenian Girl

About This Movie

Slovenian Girl dives deep into the murky waters of youthful ambition and the harsh realities that often collide with it. Aleksandra, a student from Krško, has this almost feverish desire to break free from her small-town confinement. The film presents her journey with an unflinching gaze, portraying the stark contrast between her dreams and the stark responsibilities that emerge when tragedy strikes. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, reflecting her chaotic emotional state - it sort of mirrors her turbulent life. There's a raw honesty in the performances, especially in how Aleksandra grapples with her choices. It’s a distinct blend of personal struggle and societal critique, wrapped in a dark yet almost poetic narrative. The atmosphere is quite claustrophobic, enhancing the weight of her decisions.
