This is a good movie, but who failed to respond to my expectations. The camera work is unique (in the Dogme style), but it's a little too much. Some scenes almost make us dizzy. The acting is very good and Émilie Dequenne is excellent as Rosetta, the 17 years old Belgium girl who can't find her way in life. But the movie drags on, even though it's just over 90 minutes in length. Somehow you're care for Rosetta and somehow the movie ends and you don't think of her anymore. The movie does have an important social message: How it's difficult to break the cycle, to get out of the learned way. But in all, a very average movie.
Out of 100, I give Rosetta 75. That's good for **½ out of ****.
