It's been a while since I saw something that affected me as much as this little indie movie. The last one was Requiem For A Dream. Requiem dealt with the effects of drug abuse. This one with the effects of child sexual assault. Definitely not a stroll in the park, this one.

I was genuinely surprised at the casting. There's Joseph Gordon-Levitt, from the emotional trainwrecks that were Third Rock From The Sun and 10 Things I Hate About You, and Michelle Trachtenberg, the whiny little girl from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and, um, Eurotrip. I really should stop judging actors from their involvement in fluff.

The premise is simple. Man molests children. Children grow up. One suppresses all memories of it and becomes introverted. The other keeps on reliving the memories and fucks every guy who shows up with money in hand.

An emotional train ride into how victims of child sexual assault deal with their experiences as they grow up. This is fucking brilliant is what it is. 10/10.
