Four Minutes

Germany

Well done but sad film about a young woman prisoner, wrongfully jailed, incest victim, who nevertheless plays the piano well enough for an elderly staffer to take her under her wing. She continues to suffer injustice for most of the film but our attention is directed to a contest at the end.

Conventional structure, both lead actors were strong, predictable arc...felt a bit manipulative but not enough to trouble me. Solid work.
