I saw the movie yesterday and I can say that I was amazed by the performances of Adriana Gaitan and Alicja Bachleda, mostly of the last one.
Alicja plays Veronica, a young girl that is kidnapped, raped, beaten, but somehow find in Adriana a way to keep herself alive now that she feels she has to protect the young girl. Alicja gives to the movie the humanity that is necessary for this kind of plot, at the same time Veronica is fragile and fearful, she's also strong and brave.
Alicja's performance is so strong and that her simply presence in the movie made us wanna watch it. In fact, her death was necessary, but at the same time is hard, because in spite her character wasn't written for being the star, she definitely is.
The high level of Alicja's performance can be seen in many scenes of the movie, but especially in the scene where she is raped when we can feel her helpless and her shame through her hopeless eyes noting with regret that she did the wrong choice.
