A tough but engaging film
18 December 2022
Tori and Lokita is a very simple but well observed story about two young refugees who settle in Belgium and try to get by.

It boasts two commanding and sympathetic performances from the two leads, who have a great chemistry together.

The story is quite a simple one, but it is well executed. There aren't too many bells and whistles in the film making, letting the story do all the work.

I do think there could have been a little more depth in parts, and certain elements could have been pushed and developed a bit further, but on the whole it is a strongly emotional and intriguing story.

Overall a solid film that is very engaging, but perhaps could have been fleshed out and stylised a little more.
