Criminal

Rating: 1/10 (29 September 2017)

This is pure sadism and exploitation disguised cynically as a fairy tale about a child. There is nothing wondrous, childish, or innocent about this film. It is a dark, gloomy orgy of sadistic scenes, that are being sold to us as just another fairy tale. You see, the filmmakers behind this horrid piece of cinema think we are stupid enough not to see the film for what it really is. Thus, there are pixies and fauns, and things you normally see in a fairy tale, but behind it all, there is only torture. Yes, pure torture. The girl is being tormented, the people around her are tormented, nasty people do nasty things. But what is the moral of the story? That when a girl escapes into a fantasy world in order to escape the torture in the real world, she is tortured just as much. Now, who wouldn't want to watch that? I really feel sorry for all those who took perverse pleasure in watching this. It is an assault on the audience. And the fact it is so manipulative and dishonest about what it really is, only makes it even worse.
