  • This is the most bleak, realistic but horribly depressing movie ever!

  • Comment removed

  • She dont live in Tallin she lives in Paldiski a former sovjet naval base near Tallin.

  • She wasn't living in Russia! She was living in Tallinn the capital city of Estonia -.-

  • She wasn't living in Russia she was living in Estonia, Tallin -.-

  • whats the name of the trailers song?

  • @lasolucionfinal Just search for "Lilja 4-ever soundtrack" -.-

  • @Mycenaea thanks

  • Grande Filme .

  • There swedish.. Lilja means lily(the flower)

  • This movie has taught me and probably a lot of people about the true side of the western countries.

    People in Russia or other eastern European countries are brainwashed by the western media that western Europe and america are very rich and safe countries. The reality is, you can easily fall into the wrong hands, and you wont be able to do anything about it.

    Great movie. More people should watch this film.

  • @RainfulPhenix well duh, we're probably the worst, why do you think we're so uptight about sex?

  • @RainfulPhenix That's all correct. The western countries aren't safe... anymore. Most of the organized crime comes from the eastern block.

  • so sad.

  • I know a guy in the same situation as she, but it's real. My mother has been trying to help him for 9 years (!!!) without any luck. I don't know what to do or is there any hope. :-(

  • @sztriptiz some people with lily's lifestyle...thats just what they've been born into. no matter how much help they get. its heartbreaking, even more so knowing at this moment one child is going thru the same exact moments right now.

  • great movie...

  • The night I watched this movie, I actually had a nightmare and couldn't sleep for a while. I stayed awake and the movie kept going through my mind...mainly about how scary it was.

  • If I ever find one of the places where these girls are being kept locked in then I will seriously pretend to be a client and then take them away from there (after talking to them and making them trust me, of course).

  • This has got to be one of the best movies ever made. It makes you feel like complete and utter crap after you watch it-- the morning after you feel more refreshed and wonderful though. Could just be me.

  • What a terrible trailer. Watch Hipsters, she plays a role in that movie, and its fucking amazing.

  • its in estonia..

  • Can anyone tell me what this song is?

  • Excelent, my fave film! (LL)

  • I've just seen the movie.It's so sad..if only things doesn't happen that way.Screw those men!Most of them are old sack of s--t!

  • When poverty childhood is a consumable item and exploitable at will ! what a great movie ♥

  • Did this ever get a U.S Release, I want to buy this on DVD but can only find region 2 DVD.

  • Based on true events. Saddest movie I ever watched.

  • This movie was a wake up call for me: Hello there is a world out there.

  • I'm English, and I downloaded this film from a website today only to find it was dubbed with Spanish subtitles! I speak a little French and know some Latin, which obviously didn't help that much, BUT even with that handicap, I understood pretty much every scene, because it was so well acted and scripted, and the themes so poignant..the world can be such a brutal place for the young, vulnerable poor such as this beautifully realised character Lilja and her young friend. Superlative film-making.

  • @MrTulip65 Can you provide me with the website details ? I'd like to watch this film. (An avid movie viewer from India)

  • @CrazyWindwalker Check your messages, my friend

  • @Raskolnikovtzs i am sorry to tell you this,but you are gay...

  • @Christian21J LOL The brainiac missing. I am not sorry, at all, to tell you this. You are an absolute idiot, or maybe something worse. Grow up.

  • Lawl,everyone here is so stupid.The girl was from Lithuania,not Estonia or Russia.Get your facts straight.

  • @narutoLT "Lilya lives a fairly bleak life with her mother in a run down apartment block in a squalid, poor town in an unnamed former republic of the Soviet Union. (principal filming took place in Paldiski, Estonia)"

    language: russian

    filmed in: estonia

    story takes place in: "unnamed former soviet republic"

    thats it. its supposed to be unknown...

  • @zegh8578 It is sad true.This movie is based on true facts that happened with lithuanian girl.And this movie was filmed in Estonia.However I don't know why creators of this film decided to use russian language.One of the explanations could be that girl playing Lilja is russian actress.

  • @AiridasLietuva well, like i suggested, its probably intentional to create a blur concerning exactly where. maybe out of sensitivity for the country, so not to represent a certain country as being total shit, or maybe even to underline the irrelevance of where theyre from, once they arrive in the foreign nation being sold off as prostitutes.

    either way, its seems intentional.

  • This movie is the sadest i have ever seen! :'( I cryied so hard, i couldn't stop! it was horrible to watch! And the sadest part is that it isn't made up. This happens irl, we just dont hear about it.

  • @ThePrice0 what the F happened in the movie thats so horrible.. you could tell me about it dont mind it..

  • @TokyoDogz You're kidding right? Human trafficking isn't horrible? What planet are you living on? If you do not find it horrible that girls are being stolen, raped and exploited every single day to 10, 20, 30 men, then you are as sick as the Johns that pay for them. Sick....sick....sick...

  • @violetviolets oh so thats what happens in the movie, i actually asked if someone could expain, cuz in all the comments im reading that its sad and stuff.

    and i think human trafficking is a horrible thing, cant stand how men use girls for their own pleasure, and raping them... it makes you want to cutt of their dicks... and beat them up.

  • They live in Estonia, little town knows as Paldiski

  • @Attom0712

    A russian slum in Estonia. That's at least where it is filmed (largely), but does the movie potray them living in Estonia? I remember it as if it was to seem that it could be any eastern european country in which they speak at least some russian.

  • They dont live in Russia in this film/ THey live in a little town in Estonia known as Paldiski lol

  • I lone OKSANA and ARTIOM,,,They are talented and Brilliant ,,Hope the best for them!!

  • one of my favourite movies. Really addresses the issue of human trafficking...worth the watch!!

  • Ohh,i wanna fucj Lilja... Ohh god.

  • Трелер хороший, фильм фуфло

  • heavenish techno

  • One of the best movies ever!!!

  • She should have told police when she had a chance... She trusted so many assholes and there were so many red flags, like somebody else's passport... Girls if you are in a situation like this, don't give up, there are good people in this world but they are hard to find, the only somebody who can help you is you

  • Shoot your local pimp and dealer.

  • in all of Lucas Moodysson someone is always puking on somebody... WHY? i seen this movie teribale no no luckey me i had dukes of hazzerd on my pc dident fuck up my whole night

  • this*** :o

  • rgis is such a sad movie.. but i still love it !

    even though this is a true story..

  • this is one of those movies that I don't want to re-watch, because it is depressing. We all live our lives, but there are times when we get in really shitty situations and this movie is a reminder that your life can get really shitty. I guess it gives you some enthusiasm even if you aren't 100% satisfied with your current situation.

  • du? det här har hänt på riktigt skulle du villa att bli röv knullad varje dag eller? skulle inte tro det sörru

  • I cryied when I saw that movie :'(

  • Yeah I cried big time. This movie was soo sad. great movie.

  • I don't really get the part when the "angel" friend tells her, "if you commit suicede, you loose," because I did not see an exit in her situation. I don't understand why she would win by staying alive, if she was used like that.

  • Perhaps by commiting suicede- she'd let the others win. They would get complete power of her life.

    I think it's superhard, but i do think that you can survive something like this, build up a good new life.

  • no way! I would be killing people who's involved in this business.

  • @ikssm After such psychological and physical trauma to your body and mind, it is very difficult for trafficked girls and women to live a normal life. Many commit suicide, many are killed, and many die from STDs/AIDS/HIV...its a sad reality. Human trafficking is a multi million dollar global crime business...and over 250 000 people are trafficked each year for sexual exploitation...most women and young girls.

  • In my opinion, Volodya (the little kid who commited suicide) told her that if she killed herself she would lose because, he commited suicide and partly realized he had made a mistake. Remember: Lilya had that picture of a guardian angel, so when Volodya was alive, Lilya was his guardian angel, but once he died he was her guardian angel.

  • anybody knows what's the song at the background of this clip?

  • Its The Ride by Double N

  • thanks a lot

  • is this in russian

  • Yes

  • @joeltxbx Russian, Swedish and English.

  • Atleast thats what I think it is, I havent seen it since it was new so my memory might have failed me :)

  • the discussion whether if they were russian or not, it's pointless. SO stupid really... it doesn't matter nationality,this happens everywhere!

  • Comment removed

  • i don't remember seeing 0:12 in the film. did they cut it or are there two versions of the film?

  • i'm talking about the shot where she's in bed with her back to the camera.

  • it is there

  • @AwkwarDorkStudios I remember seeing it, She is at some mans home and he want her to pretend that she is his daughter doing homeworks and she refuses, And that scene is the follow up. It was set in Sweden and it seemed like a fairly wealthy man who was alone (?) at christmas or something. I hope that helps in any way.

  • There might be two versions, I definately saw it but I would not be suprised if it had been cut out.

  • in reality it was a Romanian girl who was found dead after commiting suicide

  • Comment removed

  • @McLarenMercedes

    No, the original one was from Estonia~

  • Perhaps. Maybe I remember wrong. They did find kidnapped Romanian girls who were forced into prositution by criminal gangs in Sweden though.

  • its swedish directors and such and its suppose be in russia

    me as swedish girl, feels like they PWNED themselfs,for giving sweden a bad name.

    we sound REALLY bad in this movie,even if it seems to be good....

  • Actually I am kind of glad they showed nasty swedish perverts using her sexually. Our country is not full of good and loving persons. Now when prostitution has been outlawed many girls are forced into prostitution by organized criminals, and boys are forced to steal.

    The second Lilja said:"I am going to Sweden where people are nice", I said:"That's what YOU think." to the tv.

    How did the director pwn himself or his country? Give me a break.

  • SURE im sure,many people will trust us sweds AFTER watching this

    pffft i think NOT..

    still MY POV!

  • The people that used her at the beginning were russian. The prick that brought her to sweden was russian or something else. The pimp that abused her was possibly polish (Vladek or something). These were the real villains of this movie. A few swedish perverted old men that appear a few seconds in the movie isn't going to make the rest of the world think badly of Sweden. The pimp that abused her was not swedish at all.

  • What's the point of an POV if you can't defend it with rational thought?

    What you are basically saying is that there are no men in Sweden which would treat prostitutes bad, I know there are because I've met one in the hospital who was a sadistic fucker. You are saying all men in sweden are nice. All people are not the same anywhere in the world. Bad people exists everywhere, and a few crazy rednecks doesn't make me hate americans or believe they are all like that.

    Believe what you will.

  • du kan väl åtminstone skicka allt detta som ett PM?

    eftersom allt är ju riktat mot mej,och

    HALF what you said I SAID you misunderstood.

  • So by your rationale italians pwn themselves whenever they make a movie about the italian mafia? How about the american giving themselves bad names in most of their movies?

    Besides, most of the movies does not take place in Sweden anyway, just the last part.

    Yes, I bet people who watch this movie all over the world will think swedes are a nasty people, pardon my sarcasm.

    How about 300? Persians are portrayed as disfugured monsters and their king is naked drag queen.

  • McLarenMercedes:

    i was just saying from MY swed POV.

    how rest think i dont know

    BUT,our swed men aint THAT nasty,like they show in the movie,

    MY POV,i dont like it!

  • What swedish men aren't that nasty? The real nasty man was the pimp who kept her locked in an apartment and he wasn't swedish, neither was the guy who fooled her into going to Sweden.

    And for your info I've seen plenty of swedish men buying prostitutes in other countries in Europe and I wouldn't want to think they are all treating them well. What's the matter? There are such men everywhere! Even in Sweden believe it or not.

    You are saying all swedish men are the same which is bullcrap.

  • nononono

    hold up,i didnt say ALL swed men were good.

    i meant,they dont make them look good HERE.okei

  • I know Zomgits (Criss) from Romania. I subscribe to her videos. Nice to hear she liked it. I recommended Let the right one in to her.

  • i remember wrong,had to ask her again,NO she really didnt like it either haha..she actually recomended THAT movie TO ME:D

    and im swed i didnt know,that one she liked tho!!

    why dont vi prata svenska ?

    och varför här?bättre med PM,slipper

    hela världen läsa å bli pissed och mkt blir fel översatt på eng från svenska.

  • so ''simple'',is it?

    sounds like you're a bit simple.

    you haven't got a clue how the ''story'' goes.

  • i adice

  • seen hundred times...

    Simple Eastern Europe story....

  • One of my favorite movies. A perfection indeed.

  • This is one of the best movies ever made. It is definetly one of my favourites.

  • @stepz2108 YES =))) it is the best film

  • how do i watch this movie :O i really wanna watch it

  • you can watch it for free on google vids. it's an amazing movie. i watched at the cinema 5 times when it first came out

  • i didn't say the world is not money orientated...read my words. I said it IS money orientated and that it has always been. dont put words in my mouth that i didn't say.

  • it's easy to look back, because that already happend.

  • sorry man but its the truth. People are always talking about how the world is going to the dogs.. Every generation thinks it was better before and now things are worse. But the truth is its not true. The world has always been fucked up. Human nature doesn't change much.

  • You told me once before that the world is not money oriented; well, inhumanity has allways been there, but today the world is only more viscious because the it's just seemingly more decant; you allso said that this world we live in,it's more comfrtable,maybe so, but "comfort" is just another word for cancer, the visciousness hides beneath the surface, comfort does not grow on trees; once upon a time you could be a dreamer,today it's no longer possible because you work like a pig to stay ahead...

  • LILJA 4-EVER!!!

    this is the freaky reality...we have to destroy what is destroying love...just NOW...!!!

  • It's not just prostitution rings - these crooks are everywhere. The world is becoming so repulsiive and mony-oriented. When I think of everything that is massproduced; the art scene is suffering so much I could cry - all that seemes to matter is the financial benefit - everything else is forgotten and people are treated like garbage.

  • newsflash, the world isn't "becoming" like this. it always was like this. infact it used to be much worse. comparatively we live in one of the nicest most humane time periods in the history of mankind. don't act like we have it so rough, it used to be nothing but rough.

  • No need to get pissy...all I said said was that of the world, how it has become more money-oriented, I never mentioned the old ways of life. Take the hookers of paris in the mid 30's for instance; it was not the same thing back then, if anything it was just another way to make a living....NOT that I approve of that line of work in any fashion - but when something gets turned into big business and money is envolved in such dispicable ammounts, it most assuredly becomes a scrupouless trade.

  • how do you know it wasn't the same thing back then? its funny how people are always talking with such authority about time periods and places they were never a part of and know nothing about, "the good old days" when things were different. Sex slaves have existed since the dawn of man and males have always exploited women for their own profit. The world is not more money orientated, its the same as it always was.

  • Listen, I'm all for straight shooting, but I don't understand why you have to be down right rude with me,calling me people, like I belong to some ignorant breed; what makes you think I lack insight, just because I wasn't there? Have you taken the trouble of asking me where I'm from? Do I have elderly friends? What do I study?I admire you for voicing your oppinions in such a strong fashion,you don't resort to namecalling;even still, this you should remember: "don't talk...listen"

  • jesus christ, your sensitive. since when is referring to someone as a "person" name calling? As for your other comments they are all over the map and make no sense. Know elderly people? Do you study? How are these things relevant. Sorry...it just makes no sense what you are saying.

  • I'll tell you what makes no sense is you blurting out a statement like "the world has not become more money oriented". To hear you say that just blows my mind, since that is one of the very themes whitch this film explores. After the collapse of the Soviet union Russia found itself in a bad economical crises and people were scrambling to make ends meet. This crash with the ruthless capitalistic system makes Lilja stand out as the victim of a transition to a world where money is everything.

  • it happens every day to thousands of women and children. so many freaks get lots of money out of the misery of these creatures.

    but do not blame the pimps alone ...what about the men , "the clients" ? where is their judgment or soul? these men are all around us.

  • The story is - sadly - true, for women and children all over the world, every single fucking day!.

    I've considered starting some sort of foundation to help people in this very situation. I just dont know where to start... Should I just buy a lot of guns, and go kill the fuckings bastards responsible for these things?

  • awsome but very sad movie

  • This movie is really incredible - very hard to watch, but incredible, and it raises some VERY good points. I can't even count the number of times I wanted to jump in and rescue Lilija... truly amazing movie. Five stars.

  • this was a very powerful film

  • ITs a true story!!!!!

  • Great Movie! one of the best, i've ever seen :0)

  • YES lukas modysoon is the best i love all films but lilja is my favorit

  • Very good movie indeed. It´s really giving the feeling as if one was experiencing this himself.

    I´m just curious how does it look like in Estonia.. I mean in reality. It´s just that some people think that that bad situation is absolutelly normal in such countries (and they include my country as well) but that´s not true. Maybe some ghettos are like that I don´t really know... but I really want to know. It shouldn´t be like that in the first place...

  • ok for most developed countries the story is the same.. for human trafficking and prostitution most gangsters will spend about 5 years or so in jail.. probably out in 2 with good behavior..

    but if they get caught with a kilo of heroin or cocaine they are going to jail for much much much longer.. that is why gangsters are moving towards kidnapping and the sex slave trade rather than sell drugs.. the laws that man has created make absolutely no sense....

  • this movie is so depressing..

    so so very very depressing.. but in terms of art?? it is grand.. very grand indeed.. the girl in the film is beautiful.. i would have given her a real job as a cashier.. buy her nice clothes and watch her grow up and be happy.. based off of a real life girl who did kill herself in sweden.. so sad.. sadly people, it doesn't look like there is a hell.. but some of these old greasy fat men need to burn forever....

  • i love how many positive comments there are about this film. it's such an incredible one!

    really opens people's eyes up to what's going on around them.

  • I'm about to watch this...and I see it has good reviews from everyone.

  • This is one of the greatest films I've seen so far! Amazing!

  • Comment removed

  • This movie is a masterpiece.

    I live in Sweden but speak Russian and Swedish fluent (and pretty good English as you may be able to see). On top of that, I previously lived in Tallinn (Estonia), where some of the scenes in the movie are recorded, I recognize them (like the big highway with a bridge over it, Andrej and Lilja pass the place with a car. Been there myself actually, many times, it's not far from where I lived).

    Well, anyway... the acting in the movie is very good, the story as well.

  • oh god, are you serious? If you want 2 "brag" ,this is not the right place.

    Haha,so embaressing..

  • Whats your problem? It's true and I really enjoy the movie ~

  • So what if it's true?

    If you really enjoy the movie,talk about IT instead of the fact that you speak swedish &etc.

  • *Sigh*...

    If you don't get it, I find the movie special because of all those things I wrote before... ò_Ó

  • superb film! very hard to watch but still very good!

  • Hehe, I live in Sweden (moved here) but know both Swedish and Russian fluent... =P

  • Tänk att många kanske gör det?

    Filmen är väldigt fascinerande och rörande.

  • what's song of this trailer?

  • the ride by Double D:)

  • I saw it a year ago and it made me reflect about so many things.

  • Really amazing movie.

    I can't describe the feeling after seeing it.

  • oksana was absolutely perfect for this movie!

  • the boy who played Volodja was great too! I don't remember he's real name. :S

  • It was a realy moving film !

    Yeah and i feel the same ! After watching this i want to kill in cold blood !

  • I have seen this movie, and it was great.

    I wanted to go out and shoot all fucking rapists and gangsters efter seeing this great movie.

  • I guys i'm from Argentina and unfortunately here Swedish films are not so popular...

    So I wanted to ask you if you happened to know where I could download this movie from...

    I can't wait to see it and here I can't buy it because it "doesn't exist" :(

  • try with EMULE;)

  • Lilya is an adorable girl! which makes the movie quite scary and shocking... I really loved it!

  • ahhh this is a very sad movie.. but a good one...

    captures perfectly the reality of many naive youngs all 'round the world...

  • En otroligt stark film

  • Moodysson is a genious

  • This trailer is good because you just want to see more. The Rocky trailers are probably the worst in the world because they say pretty much the whole story in the trailer lol.

  • this is a really really good movie.

  • the song is on here 'double n the ride'.

    i wish these trafficking scum preying on girls and kids and women,and boys too,would rot in hell.this is so sad because this film is based on similar events that happened in malmo where lilya is trafficked to.but it happens all the time.may they rot,and let the trafficked have their freedom.

  • ?onn5jzyxmjm

  • the song on mediafire dot:) com

  • Dude.. what?!

    Swedish ppl do not fuck helpless, not more then what your fucking country do.. Idiot..

  • its gooooooone, can you email the song to me please?

  • Really good movie, but the trailor.. Hmm

  • I think the trailer is absolutely great. It makes you wanna know more and it makes you want to see the whole thing. I dunno that's just my thought :)
