Evelyn
Date	Location
A harrowing tale of human trafficking, this film engages not by a litany of misery but by presenting a naïve but incredibly resourceful and determined heroine, struggling to escape her nightmarish trap. At times, the pervasive atmosphere of corruption around her approaches the dark worlds of David Lynch, but without ever losing its connection to contemporary reality. A tough watch but an unforgettable one. View full details and ticket info
