It tells the story of a woman who’s been pushed into the depths of society’s cruelty, and boy, does it hit hard. The lead performance is raw and gritty, bringing a sense of authenticity that is hard to shake off. However, while the film does a fantastic job of showcasing her pain, it sometimes feels a bit heavy-handed in its messaging. The pacing drags in parts, making it feel longer than it needs to be. Still, there are moments of brilliance, especially in the way it captures the protagonist's anger and resilience. If you appreciate films that tackle uncomfortable truths, this one might just resonate with you, but be prepared for an emotional ride that doesn’t shy away from the grim realities of life. Show less
