A lethal film about a 20-year-old girl who becomes a woman. Katarina lives alone with her alcoholic mother. Her only solace is classical music. Then everything changes dramatically when she hears a performance of Mozart’s ‘Requiem’. It is a powerful movie filled with dramatic events. The process she goes through girl to woman after a dangerous liaison with a middle-aged man and subsequent betrayal is memorable. The expression ‘lethal’ is no exaggeration. During this process, the movie spices things up with a dramatic reversal, and presents a thrilling surprise with its shocking conclusion. The biggest attraction in the movie is Katarina herself, and the woman who plays that role, Alicia Vikander. Unlike other women of her age, she is not subordinated, but beautifully imposing. She is an independent individual who chooses and walks her own path. Alicia Vikander is Katarina. At times a girl, and at other a woman, her facial expressions reflect the character perfectly.
