Well made but soooo depressing

Rating: 6/10 (21 March 2016)

I respect this movie but... "Phoenix" was a date movie compared to this.
Awesome acting, effective, grim.
I complained to my wife on our way out of the theater and she said: "Oh, the book was darker." You've been warned!
Don't go to a theater near a cliff as you may feel like jumping off.
I realize neither cinema nor any art form should be all sunshine and flowers; I just want to put a warning label on this one.
The cast was great. The production design and cinematography were very effective.
If you want to scare your daughter out of ever talking to a stranger, take her to this movie.
Ironically, she might go hide in the basement and refuse to come out.
