Met the director of this film and she is a breath of fresh air. Her writing is real and raw and that’s especially highlighted in a scene involving ASL. If you’ve seen the movie you know what I’m talking about. Look forward to her her next film and I know it will be a banger.

Creo que tengo una debilidad por las películas de mujeres que vuelven a casa, a ese pueblito con un lago enorme en medio. No soy fan de ver historias de traumas o cosas por el estilo, pero esta es cero pretenciosa; dura lo que tiene que durar, sin alargar la trama de forma estúpida con cosas que realmente no aportan mucho.
Creo que llevaron el tema de la forma adecuada, sin aburrir y sin hacerlo ni más ni menos dramático: un duelo realista. La moraleja de la película: no tengan relaciones con alguien que esté muy ebrio, da igual si tú también lo estás.

"have we let rape become a cultural disfluency - an expected, almost unnoticeable interruption-in our culture?"
This is the open ended question asked by Baumgarten's short of the same Title from 2018. I think that this films stark message in a world so different to the one we lived in seven years ago still resonating is rather disgustingly our answer.
As a hearing impaired person myself, who wears hearing aids, it was beautiful to see the context of language expand beyond that of just spoken language. Filler words (aka Disfluency) such as "um" or "ohh" and of course the films highlight "sorry" are purposeful and full of intent in other forms of language like signing and writing too.
This film isn't perfect, with some rather questionable antics around the whole assault being revealed, but thats also kind of the nuances of life too. Also, the packaged neatly with a bow semi-rushed ending was a miss for me too, we get our answers (mostly) and see all the relationships that had been strained become rectified, but im not sure we needed to. The conversation in the tree itself is what moved me the most in the end, it allowed a whole other genre of victims to feel seen in this film.
Worth watching, but check all the other content warning out too first if you do <3

I had the honor of seeing an advanced screening of this incredible film at my school. Everything from the cinematography to the editing is fantastic and it tells such an important and impactful story. This is a movie that needs to be seen. Beautiful
