Lullaby Movie Review

At first, Lullaby offers a child's-eye view of sheer loveliness unclouded by foreboding. But then the little girl is kidnapped and not returned to her family for so long that she recognizes nothing of her former life. The sequences where her mother tries everything to wring a memory from her lost daughter are truly heart wrenching. The beautiful surroundings mean nothing to her without her child's love, a point made with conviction by director Nana Janelidze. AKA: Ivnana.
