I started to watch this late last year, but the timing was wrong. I just now got around to properly watching it. NOT for the faint of heart. The emotional rollercoaster had my teeth clenched and muscles tightened through the entire movie.
The story deals with the rape and murder of a nine year old girl and the subsequent attempts at revenge by the father. In lesser hands, this would play out in some half-assed Hollywood fashion, but Grou does an excellent job of laying out all the conflicting emotions and getting deep into the main characters without a bit of crutch-leaning exposition or grandiose rage-driven pontification.
The movie is beautifully edited and shot and the use of sound (or lack thereof) brings the uncomfortableness of the story directly to the viewer. Some scenes will have you unconsciously pushing yourself back into your couch as you watch.
I highly recommend watching this. Just have a some puppies and rainbows nearby to console yourself with afterward.
