Guarding Angel

About This Movie

So, 'Guarding Angel' is this interesting follow-up to 'Call-girl's Christmas.' It dives back into Kerstin's life after her time in prison—like, there’s this strange blend of hope and despair that runs through it. The pacing feels almost contemplative, allowing you to really absorb her story, which is a stark contrast to the chaotic world she navigates. Artur Talvik and Rein Kotov maintain that raw, unfiltered style that they’re known for. It’s not just about the struggles, but the humanity underneath. The performances feel incredibly genuine, and there’s this palpable sense of vulnerability. It’s not flashy or overproduced, which makes it stand out in the documentary scene of the late '90s.
