Don’t rent this if you’re particularly squeamish, delicate, or if you have unhealed sexual trauma. This movie speaks to brutality, heartbreak and the cruel, insane brilliance of survival. It’s a well-done film that doesn’t shy away from the complexities of life, love or abuse. It is dark, tragic, tender, a little hopeful, and certainly haunting.

Just fucking brilliant. It’s incredibly dark and overwhelming, with graphic, emotional scenes that make the subject matter of the movie more intense.

I definitely recommend renting it if you can find it, and aren’t squimish (because there are several scenes depicting terrible shit with kids).
