      An Upsetting, Yet Sympathizable Piece of Work

      The makers of this film did a great job presenting the different types of rape and how rape affects women, because ever since watching this film, I have felt much sympathy for raped women and have been warned against being a rapist (not that I ever would have). This drama film had me tied up very tight in the shoes of the rape victims, especially in those of the children presented in the court scene, which glued my eyes to the screen and had me eager to watch to the end. However, I initially wanted to watch this movie because I thought it would be more thrilling and horrific than upsetting, but after realizing the truth about the tone and mood of this movie, I had favored it even more than I would have thought.
