Gwendylan 8 October 2006. This movie dealt with such a deplorable subject.. such a sickening act, without so much as one single gratuitously violent scene in the whole perfectly realised masterpiece. It's a chilling, thought-provoking, hard-hitting piece that's taut, absorbing, and impeccably well-paced.
