I had this on my "not interested" list based on ONE review saying how she nearly threw up watching it. Stupid thing to do. The movie was amazing. Hard to watch? yes. But it was raw, real, and beautifully acted and written. If you don't like sex scenes, then skip. If you have a rape trigger, then skip. If violence offends, skip. This movie was tragic and yet beautiful. It is not for everyone and not something you watch often if you don't want to land yourself in a dark place, but it is something worth watching if you want to see a truly well done but painful-to-watch movie.
