I hate this film. It's all deliberately messed up to be pretentiously controversial. The makers are not responsible enough to even think out the questions but play with various answers some innocently responsible audiences were reduced to coming up. It's not about gender; It's not about sex justice; It's not about crime & punishment. It's merely a mess the makers made to force the film stand out among so many indie films in a so pathetic way. I always regard myself a thinker when it comes to a good film. But this time I don't want to think about the plot itself -- It's neither entertaining or inspiring but sickly raw. Although I don't share the common guilty with Jeff (at least not now...), but I'm not quite sure in the days coming I won't hate or be afraid of teenage girls with short hairs and smooth tongue--not because the film successfully portrays the character, but for as obviously enough a reason as that you get sick, for the rest of your life, of somebody violently sweared to you without a cause.
However, one point to its visual style, that's all. And even for this, I'd rather watch some Rob Zombie's videos instead of spending nearly 2 hours being cornered in a nonsense of dilemma and threats and guilty...
