I'm not saying it was badly made. It was carefully crafted, the cinematography was beautiful, the fictional world was fully realized. But the experience of watching it was just...*horrible*.
I felt sick, during and long after. Yes, that made it very "edgy," but I can't think of a single redeeming thing about this film. Why such depravity? What was the viewer supposed to take away from it? Why explore such hideous characters in such depth? For what purpose? For the outsider, it presents the most damning picture of rural Peruvian life. Perhaps Peruvians found in it some kind of useful cultural commentary? It's hard to imagine. Watching kittens being skinned alive wouldn't have afforded any more pleasure.
