Don't judge it on the trailer alone!

Rating: 9/10 (19 January 2018)

I don't really want to know too much about a movie before deciding if I want to see it.
Don't need Oscars or reviews telling me if it's good or bad. That's invariably subjective.
90 percent of the 'watch? Y/N' decision is based on the trailer.
And it's mostly right.
If the trailer sucks the movie probably will too.
If the trailer is OK there's still a chance they put the best parts in it.
This happens a lot.
But in this case the trailer doesn't do it justice at all.
Too much emphasis is put on the humor.
And yes it's present in the film but it's not a comedy.
Even with the serious subject of rape/murder as a given, the trailer fooled me into
thinking they made an upbeat, light movie about it.
It's not, it's pretty heavy.
Don't get me wrong, this is not a warning.
In fact it's the opposite.
I almost didn't watch it based on the trailer being too 'feelgood' for the subject and would lack substance.
And that would have been a real shame since this is one of the best films I've seen in years.
