Test Pattern

Some of these reviews are horrible. This is a thought provoking movie about the ramifications of rape and the process one has to go through get a rape kit in a hospital. A rape kit should be available in all hospitals. Rape happens more than anyone knows. If you live in a bubble and you have never been a victim or close to a victim of course this movie made zero sense to you. I'm glad they showed a caring man on the side of the victim. When a victim is raped, they have to live with it everyday and it affects all their relationships. I know so many people this has happened to. Good movie to share with teenagers to spark a conversation about sexual assault.

I always appreciate stories about the complicated nature of sexual assault situations. I like the fact that the film shows the difficulty of finding appropriate medical care after an assault.

However, what doesn't seem to get mentioned in reviews or promotional material is the fact that the boyfriend is an arrogant ass who is pressuring her to go to the hospitals and the police when she doesn't want to go! It's all an ego issue for him. If he thinks she slept with someone else consensually, he feels bad about himself, but if he thinks she's been raped he feels less upset about it. It's as if it's about him, not her! It really made me angry that the boyfriend ignores her repeated requests to go home. She just wants to lay down and recover from what happened.

I felt just as upset about the boyfriend as I did about the sexual assault. And of course, her girlfriend didn't make enough effort to help her either.

So just be prepared for feeling upset about a lot of things in this movie. The assault, the hospitals, the friends, etc.

It's simple yet so powerful. It beautifully tackles a serious issue, sexual assault, along with some other important topics. Without saying much, it delivers lots of feelings that easily put you in the shoes of the victim and her supportive boyfriend. It's emotional, moving and also hard to watch. Lead performances are superb.

How are we supposed to believe that an articulate, well-groomed, beautiful black woman would fall for an inarticulate, goofy-looking, badly groomed shlub of a white man? The editing is disjointed and otherwise sloppy. The acting and writing aren't much better.

And isn't a rape victim supposed to go to the police first re: a rape kit and a search for the rapist?

After seeing 7+ rating, decided to give a chance. Movie started very bad. We have two characters and they meet at a bar. Bad acting, lazy writing, low quality movie which doesn't have anything to say.
