I'm sorry, Eva, for what happened to you. The movie is a haunting, deeply personal reflection on lost innocence and exploitation. I felt disgust, not at the film, but at the reality that inspired it. Those who claim the young actress was sexualized miss the point entirely; Eva Ionesco sought to expose, not repeat, her trauma. What she created is a dark fairytale unsettling, cynical and painfully honest.
