She Is Still Alive

About This Movie

So, 'She Is Still Alive' is this gritty crime drama that really digs into the raw emotions of revenge and survival. You’ve got Polina, who after taking out her husband's killers, finds herself in Odessa, trying to escape the long reach of the mafia. The way the film builds tension is quite intriguing, juxtaposed with these softer moments when she meets Gleb. Their chemistry feels genuine, which makes the impending doom all the more palpable. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but I think it adds to the overall sense of dread and urgency. Practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the film's dark atmosphere. It’s really the performances that stay with you, especially Polina’s struggle between love and fear.
