This is one of the most upsetting things I have ever watched. If I knew ahead of time how unnerving it would be, I probably wouldn't have watched it. Once I began to realize, I was already invested and there was no option to not finish. It isn't the production or quality of the film itself. The story was told effectively. I guess my point is, be advised.
