Best of sion sono, with great character studies, no hollywood romanticization of good looking psychopaths.
Wtf did I just watch? Unsettling, intense thriller. The performances are excellent, especially the main character's descent into chaos.
Wow... a very sick movie, and the fact that it's based on a true story is horrifying
As depressing as it is gripping. A slow burn with a wonderful payoff.
Depressed and shocked, I love Sion Sono.
Overrated. Just literally porn and gore with no actual plot. No redeeming quality whatsoever. Absolutely garbage.
This is so brutal and disturbing but at the same time the story telling is amazing.
this is a crazy, overblown movie
Filmčina i po.
