“Applause is a such a great movie! I got the chance to see it at a film festival and was impressed with Paprika Steenu0026#39;s performance. Itu0026#39;s the type of movie that definitely keeps an audience engaged. It is an absolute u0026quot;must-see.u0026quot; As an indie film lover, I havenu0026#39;t come across a film recently that is able to capture an audience with such powerful emotions throughout. It relates to many people in everyday life and Paprika is such a strong actress. I keep wondering why I havenu0026#39;t seen her in more films. This movie leaves you with a sense of empathy if you didnu0026#39;t have it before and gives you a chance to look at peopleu0026#39;s lives in a different perspective, since no one knows exactly what someone else may be going through in their personal lives. Paprikau0026#39;s ability to convey her character Thea was perfect. Her ability to sway an audience is phenomenal. I give the film two thumbs up and canu0026#39;t wait to see it again!”
