This was hard and extremely frustrating to watch, the rape scenes were extremely graphic and triggering, on top of that, the main character is so f-ing frustrating. I hate it when women in movies are portrayed as extremely weak, this is very unrealistic and just annoying. You can definitely skip this one.
Well acted but honestly a movie that makes a good case for the need for trigger warnings. I had to tap out thirty minutes in when a third rape scene was beginning. Difficult watch.
It's a revenge movie with a hint of history to boot. Not bad, and worth the watch.
Great well done but tough because of how sad!! And the terrible abuse of the poor girl!!
Some scenes were truly hard to sit through, but I can't recommend this film enough! Before watching, I do suggest reviewing the content warnings for potential triggers.
