Hard to watch, which is why it's good

Rating: 8/10 (30 March 2018)

People talk about movies being hard to watch because of violence and gore, I found this hard to watch because it was just a bit stressful. I just felt stressed on the main romans behalf the whole time.
I don't think i've felt like that watching a movie before. I normally hate these kind of arty hollywood rubbish movies that a rich hollywood guy makes to try and be different, but i think it actually works here.
I was told about the biblical references beforehand, and i think thats good to be aware of as it makes more sense of what your seeing and why the movie changes and ends the way it does.
