There were a few interesting moments for thought that were shut down so quickly there was really no room to consider anything but the ultimate conclusion. It made me wonder what we were doing it for? There doesn’t always need to be a why but when the subject matter is this dark I do feel like there should be at least some kind of point to it. I can think of one specific group of people who might feel sensitively seen by this film and I find it very hard to believe they are going to go seek this out. 
Credit where credit is due: I was not bored, Lea Seydoux is incredible as always, and thankfully they succeeded in having a horrible topic without making you watch the horrible thing (a lesson lots of filmmakers should learn imo). 
Felt like it should have been a mini series of they really wanted to say something.  And of course in that case I wouldn’t have finished it but my parents would have.
