Helen

Time Out says
Is this simply bad filmmaking? Or is it an experiment that only half works? I’d go for the latter. What the directors are seeking is a metaphysical spin on a realistic set-up: an attempt to get inside and explore Helen’s head with a big, credible event as backdrop. We must assume, though, that Helen’s encounters are flights of fancy for a girl who has never enjoyed the same comforts as her peers, so the film is good on ideas of identity and how youngsters can project others’ lives onto their own to survive. It doesn’t fully work, but its daring is enough to recommend it.
