About This Movie

17 Bullets for an Angel offers a raw and gritty exploration of adolescence set against the backdrop of wartime Greece. Iro, only thirteen, embodies a fierce spirit as she becomes entwined with the resistance movement. The film's pacing feels a bit off at times, but that adds to the disorienting atmosphere of a young girl thrust into chaos. The performances, particularly from the lead, feel authentic and deeply affecting, almost like an unfiltered view into her struggles. The practical effects, while not flashy, ground the film in a stark reality that lingers long after viewing. It’s distinct in how it melds personal growth with the broader horrors of war, offering insights that resonate in a subtle but impactful way.

Gritty portrayal of wartime resistance.Authentic performances that bring raw emotion.Interesting take on a young girl's coming-of-age.
