Review of Jolene

Jolene (2008)
1/10
Don't see why this was so highly rated

Warning: Spoilers
I don't see what the point of this film was or understand how it was so highly rated or acclaimed. It was at terrible movie with a young girl who was terribly misguided, repeatedly degraded and exploited throughout her entire life. Despite any better judgment, she never learns, never overcomes, and ends with her smiling as she thinks of some delusional fantasy that, based on the story, will never happen. It's clear this was written and directed by men because it's all exploitation, violence against women, and gratuitous nudity. The only reason I watched this is because I recognized some actors' names but wow, so disappointed I wasted the time to watch this.
