Strong acting - Elisa review by JD
All the main characters act brilliantly well. The film is described as shocking. Well the opening scene is pretty gruesome and depressing but the rest is heartening even joyous. Rarely good to have a lot of child actors in a film but only the younger, minor characters are poor. The plot is slightly unbelievable (especially the scenes of her manipulating adult men, this deception was too sophisticated for her, I felt) and the theme of the song "Elisa" being an important narrative for the rest of the plot seemed a bit quirky. But, generally a powerful, well delivered story.
