, follows an Irish convict named Claire who chases down the British officer as revenge for abusing her for years. The film is reportedly so violent that IndieWireWhat makes this movie so violent? It apparently includes “multiple brutal rape scenes in its first 30 minutes.” An audience member who left, IndieWire writes, reportedly shouted, “She’s already been raped, we don’t need to see it again.
“I can understand people not wanting to see things if they’ve had bad events happen in their lives and it’s triggering. I completely understand that, and I would protect people’s right to make that decision. But this to me really indicates a massive problem, because there are people who don’t want to accept that this happens and it’s a terrible thing. And if it’s done in a way that’s incredibly sensitive and about the story, what are they worried about? I don’t understand that.
Kent added, “We’re in this mess in the world because people do want to turn away from it, but we need to examine our behavior as well as others’ behavior and ask: ‘How do I contribute to the violence in the world?’”
GreatDismal Fascinating... from the comments section:
GreatDismal I heard they walked out of the theater and crossed the street to volunteer at the local women's shelter. stunning.
GreatDismal I'm glad I saw it and will likely never watch it again. It is incredibly graphic and brutal and that violence is absolutely relevant to the story it tells and issues it wants to raise. It would not be half as effective a film without it.
GreatDismal There are multiple rapes of multiple women, a baby smashed against a wall and a indigenous person beheaded slowly with a knife. These are not spoilers. These are things you should be told before you ever purchase a ticket.
GreatDismal I saw this film at SIFF. There were some walkouts. I'm surprised there weren't more. It says something about the way we have become desensitized to violence that most of the audience was able to sit through this at all.
All rape is brutal. There is no other kind. I know what you are trying to say by using the phrase “brutal rape” but it implies some rape is less so. Graphic?
