Review: In the Disturbing ‘Natasha,’ Sex and Manipulation
“Natasha”
is about as twisted and uncomfortable a coming-of-age film as you’re
likely to find, with a startlingly manipulative teenager, the title
character, at its center.
The story, written and directed by David Bezmozgis
based on his own book, is set among the Russian immigrant population in
the suburbs of Toronto, where a 16-year-old, Mark (Alex Ozerov of “The
Americans”), delivers drugs for a local dealer while his clueless
parents (Deanna Dezmari and Genadijs Dolganovs) nag him to get a job.
Mark’s summer is disrupted, to say the least, when an uncle imports a
bride (Aya-Tatyana Stolnits) from Russia.
