Little Vera was a very dramatic Russian film. I thought that it got a bit slow at times, yet I realize that I have to endure the slow parts for an eventual surprise at the end. I found Vera to be simple, yet she endured so many terrible things in the past. I don't find it a mistake that they did not give the mother or the father names, and I link that with the fact that they really are the main problems in her life. Her father was obviously the drunk and abusive character in this film, with the mother slowly withering away.
I found the scenery and props interesting, especially when it came to Sergei. He developed Vera in a somewhat independent woman. Vera struggled a lot with her past, and never resolved her problems at the end of the movie.
One of the scenes I thought was chilling. Not only did Vera lose her loved one, but she lost the one thing that was going right in her life. Along with the fight and the overdose, I felt that she backtracked in her development into a grown women.
