 Best film I have seen on the subject of child abuse December 8, 2007
Pyotr Rusakova (Washington, DC, USA)
I have never seen a film which so well captures the terror that is in the heart of a child who lives in fear of an adult caretaker. The director has worked a miracle here. She has enabled us to see the world through the eyes of an abused child, and it is not easy to watch, but it is essential viewing for all who want to understand child abuse.
The scene in which Jason Flemyng's character convinces his girlfriend to let him back into the house, where he will continue to abuse her son, is one of the most devastating scenes I have ever seen. The betrayal which the Mom does to her son... just beyond words. And so very real. This is an important film and it should be seen by everyone.
The entire cast is fantastic. But I do think that the director is the reason this film is so miraculously brilliant.
