Lilya 4-ever

Sometimes life can’t get any worse. You realize how unfair everything is. Once you hit rock bottom, you see how good you had it before. Lilya 4-ever hits that. It’s about how much a person can take before they break. Lilya shows that the most vulnerable people get taken advantage of the most. This movie isn’t about asking whether life is fair  it’s a fact: life isn’t fair. The basketball analogy hit me. Lilya and Volodya both reach their breaking points. It shows how much someone can take before it’s too much. The way they show Lilya’s life, the neighborhood, the identical buildings, the grey skies, the run-down houses its a reflection of her life. Every day feels grey. No way out. So when someone sells a dream, you take it, because there’s nothing else. If you’re feeling down, watch this movie. It’ll make you realize it can always be worse.
