The acting is good and the story is interesting enough to base a film on it.
Could have been a 7/10 with better camera work.
But this is not The Blairwitch Project so the constant use of shaky cam just feels annoying after a while.

Strong story, well enacted
Touching story between the will to survive and what sacrifices had to be made behind the Iron Curtain. Very well played by Lara and beautifully realized thanks to great costumes, set design and camera. The flashback part in 1989 was not necessary and rather downgrade the book, also the somewhat abrupt ending. Worthwhile to see for both the historic era and the tender relationship between the protagonist and the doctor.
