Vague spoiler ahead. Decent acting, a storyline more depressing than Sylvia Plath, and a few shots of lovely Chinese wilderness do not change the fact that this is basically softcore porn for sadists. If you would enjoy watching a fifteen-year-old get sexually mistreated, this is the movie for you. I am no prude, but this movie has a nihilistic, letcherous feel that in my experience has only been matched by _Kids_. This movie left my wife and me feeling ill - I did not eat dinner after watching this film.
