Nikita

this was incredible. it was a stylish, riveting film that acts as a perfect representation of an addict’s trauma during forced rehabilitation and the rediscovery of one’s identity. it was filled with intriguing shots and beautiful surroundings. not only is it a perfect display of Nikita’s journey, it also provides a fresh take on the femme fatale character and almost protests the idea that these characters are malicious. instead of a seductive, cold hearted women we often see in this trope we are introduced to a vulnerable character with depth and hardship. we understand the reasonings behind her wrongdoings and her violent nature is only a result of her trauma. I liked this from the start to end!!
