Synopsis: Hanna (Ronan) lives in the forest with her father who teaches her everything from science and language to combat and survival. Soon she will be exposed to the world
Review: I didn't know what to expect from this movie and was a bit confused in the first fifteen minutes (what is it, a survival in the forest? with those known actors?). Then the main story is established and you get it. I usually don't like Saoirse Ronan, always playing the naive and innocent girl, but this is her best role to date for me, as she plays a girl who actually has something hidden behind this innocent face. The twist about who Hanna really is turns out to be nothing new in cinema, but the story is told and shown in an unusual way which makes it attractive (although the ending could dissapoint some). One key element that makes the movie likeable is the music, very different from the interchangeable ones you usually hear in thrillers (for example I have recently seen The International and cannot remember anything about the soundtrack, except maybe that it was poor). Watching the credits of Hanna to the end taught me that the soundtrack was made by... The Chemical Brothers. I should have guessed. I may buy this soundtrack. Well between the time I wrote this article and published it, it is done, I bought it.
