This film tries so hard to be important. You can feel its filmmakers' craving for recognition and praise, aspiring to be intellectual and sincere and... G knows what?!
There is nothing wrong with aiming high. But when you do, you tend to fall hard. And crash. Like his film does.
The intention to distance yourself from the audience, to never let the viewer inside or anywhere close to the characters in any way, the result is a numbing experience. Basically, you don't give it a damn. No matter how horrible the protagonist's experiences. Nothing.
I wish somebody (the producer perhaps?) would have challenged these filmmakers to write something more engaging. As it stands now, forgetting the critics "empereor new clothes" praises of the brave female approach, the film is a terribly dull waste of time. I'm sorry, but it's not good at all.
If you want to show the world is miserable place, especially for young women, please make a better effort.
