This is a stupid movie.

I thought that it was her parents' house that he beat her at.

There shouldn't be any reason for any *beep* to beat on his wife or girlfriend or anyone around them. What the hell kind of reason should their be for a bastard to beat on his partner?

I disagree with everything you said. The story is about a battered women on the run from Her estranged Husband, and there is much more to it as well, such as the having to move place to place, not having any help from the justice system, having Family turn their backs, and living in constant fear of being killed. If you actually took the time to think deeper about the movie, you would have understood the message the creators were trying to get across, the film was made in the first place to raise awareness about abusive relationships and how it can put a strain on the family. The film wasn't made for a thrill or personal enjoyment, if you want that then watch something else.

I also think it was pretty obvious what Her Husbands motive was, He was a passive-aggressive, manipulative, control freak who liked to have things done His way all the time, if He had no control over a situation then He would freak out and go into a rage, this in itself is a sign of low self-esteem and other emotional issues.

The movie did a good job of showing different elements of an abusive relationship, and the story was very touching. It's a shame you couldn't look at the deeper meanings and didn't grasp even the simple concept, it's a great film.

You sound like an ignorant, uneducated, pompous person to be honest, if you felt this way about it then write a review (If you already haven't). The film wasn't about "originality", it was about telling the real truth of what goes on in abusive homes, and how it effects the community.

Coming from an abusive relationship this is a very accurate movie. My ex needed no reason to hit me other than I was breathing. He was very charming to those around us. Almost everyone was fooled but I had to hide bruises almost daily. It felt like as soon as one healed a new one got put somewhere else. It was a nightmare. I did everything that he could want to prevent the beatings. It never did. So while you OP think this is a "stupid movie" this is a lot of people's reality.
