"From the first frame, Varga haunts Csaba Bollók's film about a young homeless girl drifting into a life of prostitution," Variety writes.
Variety calls Varga's performance an "astonishing debut in the field of foreign Oscar submission".
Iska's Journey shows the difficulties of life growing up on the streets. Bollók shot the film in the autumn of 2005 after researching the lives of homeless children living in a mining region in the Southern Carpathians for four years. The film won the top award at the 38th Hungarian Film Week in February.
