A brave, pioneering film that risks a great deal to tell th truth
In truth, I'd give this film 8 stars (my main complaint: too much non-diagetic music) -- but I'm giving it 10 in attempt to boost its overall rating, given that a lot of reviewers here JUST. DON'T. GET IT. You want the abuser to be irredeemably, 100% evil? To have HORNS growing out of his head? Not to excuse abuserd -- far from it! -- they actually DON'T have horns, and typically they've been through major trauma. This vertaily doesn't excuse their behavior, but perhaps it helps *explain* it. This film bravely wades through gray areas but still reaches the correct conclusion. Fine performances all around -- particularly from the actresses who portray BOTH Lilies.
