Featured review
This movie is very difficult to watch, but it ought to be seen by everyone. It's hard to believe such evil people exist, that would treat kids like this. But they do. And the rest of us, the society, we fail in helping the abused because we don't want to know what's going on. The acting is very good in general, but Macintosh is simply brilliant!
