Anyone seen this movie? What did you think? I just got finished watching it and I feel pretty let down. I've heard so much on the internet and from friends about how good it is, how brutal it is etc but it just didn't do anything for me. There were things I thought were good like the manic camerawork in the gay club coupled with the droning siren soundtrack and the black figure who walks in on the rape and runs away again but the movie seemed to run out of ideas pretty quickly, the whole backstory we see after the rape seems kind of like it's there to fill time, sure we need to know that everything was fine and good before but that should only take 5-10 minutes. It felt like the backwards storytelling was just a way to keep you watching a story that wouldn't hold much attention the other way round.
I watched Harmony Korine's Gummo recently and I loved that. there wasn't much story to it but it kept me enthralled the whole way through but this just bored me
