I thought I hated it...I was wrong.

Looking back over this review, nothing has surprised me more than the positivity I’ve written. I remember being so confused as to why “Elena” had received such glowing praise from critics and won the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival last year. All I saw was a story that I felt I had seen in countless other thrillers, except this time it was set in Russia and had a lot of scenes with people not doing anything necessarily important. But in thinking about it, I have realized is was all important to shaping the world and, of course, the characters.

“Elena” is a smart and thoughtful film that presents realistic characters in a realistic and harsh situation, but doesn’t force you to pick a side. If you are looking for a smart, stylish, different kind fo thriller, “Elena” is one to check out.
