It's gritty, raw, emotional, engaging, and very effective. It's impossible to sit through this film and not be moved. A big WOW.

GRITTY, REALISTIC AND SURPRISINGLY WELL ACTED. DISTURBING AND VERY BELIEVABLY PRESENTED. UNPLEASANT, BUT YOU DO CARE ABOUT THE CHARACTERS, ENGROSSING AND VERY WELL DONE.
