User Reviews

A compelling, disturbing portrait of rape with tour de force performances.

Lia Chapman and Daniel Freiere give tour de force performances in this riveting portrait of a rape. So many people find it hard to believe it is even possible for husband to rape a wife, for a boyfriend to rape a girlfriend. They are already intimates, some might argue. This film is the first example I've ever seen in film that convincingly makes the case that it is not only possible, but just as devastating as a rape committed by a stranger. In some ways, maybe, worse, because a great trust has been violated. It's an extraordinary piece of film. Ms. Chapman and Mr. Freire are consummate actors, at the very top of their game with awe-striking, amazingly nuanced, vulnerable performances. Bravo to director and cast.
