Peter Jebsen (pjebsen)

Intense thriller about a bleak topic: sex-trafficking in post-war Bosnia. The impressive debut by director Larysa Kondracki is based on actual events.

Engaging albeit conventional social drama about a fallen country star who gets dragged out of rehab too early and her sponsor, a rising singer-songwriter. Fine performances by Gwyneth Paltrow, Garrett Hedlund and Tim McGraw (in a non-singing role). Uneven soundtrack features too many banal pop-country songs.
