This movie was going to be considerably lower, something like 3 and a half stars, but after watching a couple of explanation videos, I can now say that this movie is a masterpiece. Would I recommend this to everyone? No. Definitely not, I wouldn't recommend this to most people. I understand if you were to rate this low, maybe even 1 star. It's disgusting, genuinely. I am lucky enough to never be in a situation that the children in these movies are, but I have travelled to places like these, and they are much more common than you'd think. The reason I personally think people dislike this film is because of the fact that it's raw. It's something people aren't comfortable with. People tend to watch movies to get a dopamine rush or for fun, this isn't one of those films you can do that with. It's gross, disgusting and sometimes disturbing. But that's why I like it... it breaks every rule in the book. There's not much plot, which is from what I've been told a lot of Harmony Korine's movies are like (which I intend to watch). This isn't just a film. It's real life. sure, the plot, if there is any, is fiction. But the area, the acts, everything that it's based on is real. So if you are even thinking about watching this, as I said earlier, I'm not gonna recommend it because I get why people might not like it. But just keep all this in mind. P.s Genuinely don't watch this if ur rlly sensitive to animal cruelty.
