Good and Hard

The movie cover shows a skinny girl in a sexy dress... wait: are those handcuffs?
Yeah. This is a jail movie and most of all a great character study with great actresses. It´s hard, emotional and makes you grind your teeth and break a tear at the same time.

The movie cover is somewhat a lie: this is not a sensual movie, it´s a harsh and hard movie about a problematic and violent girl who also plays piano (a unsubtle way to remember people that no one can just be defined by one trait). You may hate or love the protagonist, you may understand her or not but you will empathize with her because the character feels true.

I loved it. I watched this movie with my girlfriend some years ago after renting it without knowing anything about it and we were really surprised. I loved it and she hated it, you will probably be in one of those two camps. I will never forget this movie but perhaps it´s because it surprised me so much.
