Great first hour, but then...
...the story is a letdown.
Too bad, I liked the cinematography, acting, directing and music.
Could have been great.
What was the letdown?

Nearly everything after the rapist was shot.
Up to that point it was very intense & believable.
But then Augusta suddenly made the oldest mistake in the horror genre and didn't finish the bad guy.
That's cliché.
She should have shot him point blank.
And he should have somehow survived for the showdown.
I didn't like that Augusta shot the black woman's man by accident.
That's depressing.
And I found the monologues by the black woman too artificial and it wasn't believable that
they all listened to her long stories while the bad guy was still out there…who would do such a thing?
It destroys the well established realism.
The last scenes I kind of liked again.
And the first hour is very good.
depressing things can happen in movies, there's nothing wrong with that.
i do think there were some strange plot decisions. and the monologue by the black woman was totally out of place and seemed tacked on and absurd.
there were some excellent parts though (the final shot, the intro scene).
