A disturbing and tense film that is brutal and shocking with a deep and thought provoking story that leaves you uneasy and baffled

"Do I really need to watch this?" If so, the first half is a horrifying, moving study of trauma and guilt. The latter is iffy at times.

An uncomfortable watch. At times, it's difficult not to turn away. The subject matter is very disturbing, Brutal brilliance!

The last hour or so is a real test of your mental endurance. Overall good but damn, that ending took years off my life.

Starts quite brutally and escalates from there. Takes a gruesome, disgusting, disorienting turn, before becoming truly difficult to watch.

This is easily one of the most disturbing films I’ve ever seen. Not for the faint of heart

Great if you can stomach the intensity. Some half-baked ideas but it doesn’t bring it down too much. Visually beautiful and solid acting.

Heart breaking & stomach churning in equal measure. I can't name a more cynical film. A great film I wouldn't recommend to anyone I know.
