This film is incredibly difficult to watch, but the performances, were absolutely amazing.
This is a very well acted movie. Jena Malone and Jennifer Jason Leigh are very good. The story however is a tragic one,. This is nasty stuff and there were some scenes that really made me sooo angry because of one character.
This movie made me wanna kill that son-of-a-bitch who hurt that little girl. I would never allow anyone to hurt my child that way. Ever. I praise Jena Malone for playing that difficult character.
i've no interest in seeing this movie, but at least it has a great title :)
