Just to counter a the standard review with the usual simplistic female victimhood narrative, one can view it more as an exploration of the darker social dance between the genders that modern people dare not acknowledge. The 50 shades of complicity if you will, these women choose to be with "bad men", the strong willed, the daring, the brutal. In the supposed scene in question you can see a dance of push and pull, a game of no actually doesn't always mean no, its bidirectional compliance tests, active, passive, and submission, provocations to control, a dance of sadomasochism.
People are all too willing to cast women as victims, but for every twisted man there must be his match, and this is their twisted love story.
