Deeply brutal and unsettling portrayals of sexual violence and domestic abuse. Overtly dramatic and on the nose. (Worth asking why do we recoil and disavow this overt depiction of violence? An inherent patriarchal mindset?) interesting use of magical realism initially, could have been more.

Gripping, beautifully-lit movie. Mixed emotions after watching it.

overseen story handled well enough with a good cast. but it was just predictable and felt like I've seen this kind of family trauma story thousands of times before
