Relentless. Cleverly addresses "victim" culture

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2019)

First... MAN is this a hard film to watch. It's just so, so brutal. And TWO HOURS...!
I guess, to me, the most important thing is that it makes certain invisible things, visible. And that's the job of good storytelling in general and film in particular. I found myself reflecting on the Coens' "Fargo" film, and the invisible moral threads that establish the grandpa as an unwitting kingpin of a network of evil.
And this film cleverly addresses "victim" culture (very timely!) by 1) dealing with the fact that such claims have an "invisible" component, then 2) burrowing in by knocking the supports out from under facile claims of victimhood.
And that's all I'll say about that. Aside from a handful of really-not-that-important editing, directoral, and scenario decisions I found to be less-than-elegant, this is actually a pretty important film.
Check it out.
