I don't find films like this to be at all interesting. A friend thought I might be interested in this one and boy was she wrong. It's bad enough rape happens to real children, why get others to have to act it out? I don't think it's helping anybody. Certainly it didn't help me come to terms with my own trauma, I found it excruciatingly difficult watching the film which is why I walked out. I have spoken to a few others in the same situation as me and none of them are even interested in seeing it, let alone using this film to magically fix their situations, or make them aware that they suffered. It's not suitable for child viewing, and it's so completely unrealistic (the line about the father getting struck by lighting was awful) that I don't think anybody will be identifying with parts from it. There was a strange anti-sex theme that I seemed to pick up, as well as some kind of lesbianism/feminism and anti-men theme. Oh and the snakes was probably the worst imagery I have seen yet in a film.
