Am I the only one who thought the film was great?


I noticed the film got horrible reviews on RT, and I'm surprised to say the least. I got to see this film at a film festival and was impressed by it, especially since it's a role Basigner isn't resorted to a forgettable supporting role. She actually gets to, you know, act in this film. Story-wise, people may have some gripes about it, but the ending fits with the theme of fate. I don't know, it seem like I'm in the minority, which is fine, but I'm baffled by the negative responses.

You're not alone - I thought the film was great, too.

I think it's controversial that fate's happy turn for her is the result of months of brutal rapes that get her extremely happily pregnant with the ending showing beautiful photographs of the much loved daughter who adds so much to her life thanks to the rapist who has died.

It's not exactly the normal happy ending.

It made me happy for her, though.
