I had the misfortune to watch this movie at Revelation Film Festival this afternoon. Rev's blurb describes Holiday as 'deep, disturbing, and truly powerful'. Maybe they had to edit for space? 'Oh yeah, there's a rape scene as well. Very graphic. VERY graphic. We just thought we'd warn you in advance.' Yeah - I guess that line was considered superfluous.
And this was the work of a woman director. Yay women directors! If a man had his name on this, I don't think deep disturbing and truly powerful would be the adjectives employed. In fact the whole movie is such a void that this vile scene seems to be there only to differentiate it (in the worst way possible) from all the other movies about brainless young women and their moody crim boyfriends.
Skip this Holiday. Stay home!
