Beautiful film, especially excellently played by Schaap and Bokma. Then it may not be all that surprising in terms of content (as a viewer you know where it is going - only the question whether there was also sexual abuse remains unclear for a long time), it is a film that entertains and touches and paints a picture of Schaap's life and her problems quite well. Visually nice, with occasionally a little too much emphasis on those leitmotifs (the feathers / flakes), but it is not all very disturbing. 3.5*.

Excellent adaptation of the book of the same name. That in itself is not easy. Reminded me a bit of the novel and movie of "Come here that I kiss you" that appeared in the theaters at about the same time and also has a psychological drama in genre.
As long as you lock people up and keep them far away from your own life, there's not much going on. Silence someone to death does not mean that they are no longer there. After her mother's death, Eva faces a confrontation. And yet she never completely let go of him. Unprocessed traumas crop up all the time. Fear is the common thread throughout the film.

Psychodrama about a woman who tries to fill in the gaps in her memory about her childhood after the sudden death of her mother; a shocking, sometimes panicky experience. The scene in the restaurant is dissonant, but otherwise a great home-grown film with an excellent cast.
