Even the murder scene in the movie was far from scary

The pace of the movie was very slow. I got bored watching. It's not a horror movie. The drama aspect of the movie predominates. The director emulates biologists in the movie. He took a long shot of clear, enlarged images of caterpillars, birds, fingers and fingernails, and even the stamens. It's like he wasted time prolonging unnecessary scenes so that the movie would be longer.

DIFFERENT.

It's wholly different from any other rape-revenge movie out there, and has so much to say about the genre and an audience's thirst for revenge. Not strictly a horror film. I'd call it more of a Haneke type drama with some truly grotesque moments.

A Dish Served with Violence, Volatility & Very Hot

If you go down to the woods today and you're a rabbit or a predatory opportunist, there's a good chance you'll get your big surprise and it won't be a pleasant picnic. Refreshing and brave, original and relevant, reflective and increasingly expansive, just as progressive and contemporary filmmaking should be.

could have been good

I love the visuals.

Jumping back and forth in timeline makes it really confusing. I didnt know whats happening till i gotta go read other people's review.

Now its like teaching people how to fry an egg by telling them first to flip the egg and then you crack the egg into a bowl... server the fried egg on a plate... then add oil... wait for the egg to cook... pour the egg on the hot pan... Wish they stop doing all the fancy schmancy cuts and tell the story like normal people do... in chronological order.

Missed Opportunity

This movie has potentials and seems really promising but it turns out disappointing. It has great elements like amazing cinematography, beautiful intense score and has a nice idea but the story fails in portraying it. The screenplay seems weak, useless and missing something. And the narrative is so annoying. All in all, Violation is well made but it's confusing and hard to follow.

Trivia
Madeleine Sims-Fewer said in an interview that she was inspired by male antiheroes from other films -- like Taxi Driver's Travis Bickle and Harvey Keitel in Bad Lieutenant -- for her character because she couldn't think of any female antiheroes who felt the same way the men did. She said those men "do really unspeakable things but you're still along for the ride with them. That's something that I feel really passionately about, creating these characters who are despicable and who are awful and conflicted and almost kind of OCD in their single-mindedness of what they think is right. Miriam believes that she is a crusader for good. Whatever we then see of her as an audience, it was integral that she thinks she is the white knight in the story."

Goofs
We see that the main character burns the bodies of the people she kills in a bonfire, and then sprinkles their ashes in the nearby lake. But a bonfire would not produce ashes. The bones would not burn, so the skeleton would remain, even after dismemberment.
