In our second episode we push our tolerances for bleak movies to the limit with Lilya-4-Ever, Lukas Moodysson's film from 2002.

Episode two!

This movie was depressing as hell, which by all rights a movie about human trafficking probably should be. If you’ve ever wanted to find out how much worse your life could have been had you been born a girl in a part of the former Soviet Union, Lilya 4-Ever will answer any questions you may have had, and many more! It’s a good movie, but man, you better be prepared for a whole lot of unpleasantness before you watch this one. Pro tip: queue up a bunch of life-affirming fluffy animal videos in YouTube before you watch Lilya 4-Ever. You're gonna need 'em!
