Based on true events, The Sicilian Girl tells of a seventeen year old girl who breaks the code of silence by informing on organized crime members in her village. The opening scenes reminded me of The Golden Girls Sophia saying "Picture it" "Sicily" "1985". But the film quickly unfolds the story of twelve year old Rita witnessing the killing of her father on her First Communion Day. Five years later, she loses her older brother.
In order to get revenge, Rita takes all her journals to the police, enters the witness protection program, and testifies against more than twenty men of her village. And Rita discovers that she really wants justice, not just revenge, and at the same time realizes that her actions come with a price. This is a very interesting story and I do green light this movie for those who like crime or gangster movies. This movie is in Italian with English subtitles.
You went to see this without me?
