If you're going to shoot 80 percent of a film in extreme close-up, strictly training the camera on an actor's face at the expense of everything around her, you better make damn well sure you give us an interesting character to consider.
Filho never explicitly addresses the psychology of either character, staying in observational, in-the-moment mode instead of providing any kind of emotional insight or backstory.
Filho obviously wants to convey the naive outlook an impressionable young girl would have on her own situation, but there's far too much manipulation involved to take her selection of scenes seriously.
Angel Face is a pungent, realistic drama, portrayed with a claustrophobic camera and a constant use of the close-up, which results in a promising debut. [Full Review in Spanish]
The characters are never as interesting as they could be and considering that the film tells its story mostly via close ups, it winds up being disappointing. [Full Review in Spanish]
Despite youngster Aksoy-Etaix's commendable performance, not only will you not believe, you also won't care.
