Effective at its task

This is a TV movie made to raise awareness about violence against women in the household. Just one hour long and obviously made with a shoestring budget, yet it has good performances overall and a believable story. The one criticism I have to make, all things considered, is that sometimes the story seems rushed, with characters' personalities changing very fast and several characters being underdeveloped, but at just one hour long this is to be expected.

It is hard to judge a movie like this as a movie, so I'll review it according to its purpose: is it effective at sending the message that a woman should walk out of a relationship and seek help the moment a man is violent, rather than just waiting to see if he finds a way to stop being a dirtbag and then paying a high price for it? The answer is yes, to the point where I believe this should be shown at schools.
