The minute I read the blurb I knew this was going to be one of those movies that was going to completely wrench my emotions. I was right.

I would still watch it again.

This was such an excellent movie that it forced me to see passed its subject matter. The rape of the children was depicted in a manner that highlighted just how brutally they were treated, yet the camera angles and cutaways mean that it’s not as graphic as it seems.
