When looking at reviews it seems, to me, quite funny how the majority of the viewers think that Laura/Irena is supposed to be in the right, when, in my humble opinion, the film is actually quite adept at showing that the world is not black and white, and that people can change, for better or for worse.
I think the film very much succeeds in its reflection on the many moral questions that it brings up. Where do we draw the line for right and wrong? When is family more important than the self? Are our identity bound or shaped by our past, or are we allowed to change as humans? How do progressive value affect us as humans, and not beings of pure logic? Etc.
The only gripe I had was: 1. The cinematography which varied drastically in quality, especially night scenes.
2. The tone of the film, where the integration of humor, could be more subtle in certain places. (Which was especially done very well, when Laura's boyfriend scolds her for making fun of handicaps)
