Certainly avoids stereotypes. Dark material taken seriously. It's heavy and its not for everyone, but I think it is important that subject matter of rape and abuse of women is talked about in cinema, and showed to be horrific, as it is here. But that very content is what will turn some people off to this film. I think it is dealt with maturely, and yet surprisingly. This film is very memorable, it certainly breaks new ground for me as a viewer, and it challenged me whilst being an entertaining thriller. I think this is a very solid film, it was a bit slow starting, and it just took a while to tie up all the loose ends of the film. However, overall, it keeps a good pace and certainly held my interest. Good material here to start with, I imagine the books must be real page turners.
