A few of the supporting performances are weak and you can 'see them acting' however the leads are very convincing and combined with the long take style of the film you feel like you are watching something real which is why i think it is at times hard to watch. The movie then takes on a very minimalist feel and we journey through both their lives and in particular the moments that seem to remind them of the initial act of violence. Several people walked out on the screening i was in during this scene and to be honest i was nearly one of them, however i am glad that i stayed. The film essentially begins with a single shot of the manipulation and abuse of this young girl by the family friend which feels like it goes on forever. In this case it's a young teenage girl who is molested by her fathers friend. This film is incredibly tough to watch but worth the effort as it grapples with the most sickening act imaginable, the abuse of a child.
