Disturbing but great film

Rating: 9/10 (13 August 2009)

I have rarely been as uncomfortable watching a film as this. I spent the first half wanting to get up and leave; not because I was bored, but because the cruelty and violence portrayed was so vivid and real.
That a movie can have such an effect is a credit, I think, but it went to places that made me feel uneasy. I was worried that nothing could possibly be OK in the end and that I'd leave feeling depressed.
I'm glad I stayed till the end. I can't say whether or not I liked the ending, I can't even say if I really "liked" the movie to be honest. All I can say is that it was a powerful movie that really made you think and feel, and I'm glad I saw it.
