Prioritize:
Nico is not a blockbuster, as immediately indicated by the runtime. It’s rather average, but what is fundamental about this movie is the topic and it was made to hold up a mirror to society. This insight deep into a wounded soul coming to terms with violent trauma is handled very well and the central protagonist is just perfect. ()
