Konsulentvurdering:
Daughter of Rage is a beautiful and brutal portrayal of a mother and daughter relationship, a coming of age tale of young Maria living in a dystopian universe. Though it unfolds as a grotesque and intimate drama about child labour and poverty, this ambitious debut film is also a colorful and hopeful story presented through the lens of magical realism.
