I could not bear to watch

Rating: 7/10 (15 January 2010)

I loved the setting of this film. Loved its pace, adored the photography, and the lack of conversation. But there came a point when I just could not bear to watch any further.
I've seen lots of films about poorly treated people. Sex-slave documentaries that wrench your heart, war movies, concentration camps etc. Never had a problem watching a film to the end. But the thought and look of this healthy young girl having to live among the savage Brits absolutely shattered me, and I needed to stop watching after about 90 minutes. I was too furious and distressed to take it.
I was just as furious about captain Smith's reluctance to follow his heart.
