Featured review
If you want a tense movie you could do more than worse than picking this one. One that is rooted in real life incidents and happenings of course, but also one that might have heightened a few things that actually happened to make it more "movie-like". So this also makes a couple of things more than predictable.
If you don't mind this, the movie does have powerful scenes, but also scenes that will shock you to the bone. Even scenes where things are only hinted at (like a certain kind of abuse), but just knowing what happened and what will happen once the camera goes off or the editor cuts, is more than enough to make you squirm. Powerful performances throughout make this an almost must watch
