The beginning is interesting because of the dynamics proposed by the characters, through a non-linear narrative. Although it has potential, the film is extremely uneven, with a few impactful scenes, but most of it is made up of slow moments, long scenes, some of which are contemplative, suggesting parallels with the natural setting, so the events take too long to happen, even the dramatic element ends up getting lost in the midst of tedious moments

I still feel uneasy after watching this. It's brutal, intense, and disturbing. This film really gets under my skin and like drains me. Interesting take on rape revenge film. What makes it really special is that it feels very raw and realistic. It paints how rape victim deals with trauma, the feeling of sorrow and anger. It's just beautifully crafted with beautiful location set, breathtaking visuals, the depth of the characters, and the quiet brutality. Really powerful but not for everyone.

[Sitges FF] The most tense and disgusting scene isn't the most explicit, but the one that shows a sexual assault without showing it. The non-linear structure simulates the springs of memory, sometimes incomplete, but also reinforces the ambiguity, the possibility of being predated and predatory. These transgressions, like the vulnerable male nudity, are the most interesting elements in a film that handles gray areas.

Like a drama dairy queen, this movie takes a simple (yet tragic) tale and milks it for all it's worth. The director / lead actress take a rape and revenge story and struggle to gussy it up with a time line more disjointed than a circus freak. To complete the film, just add artistic special effects that come across as pretentious and long takes that make the film feel dragged out. The stark realism of the characters' reactions was unusually authentic, but the rest of the film is artsy fartsy drama that's more fartsy than artsy.

This is my first viewing of a Madeleine Sims-Fewer - also the protagonist - and Dusty Mancinelli’s film. I added Violation to my Sundance’s schedule due to the macabre yet interesting premise, an More
