I didn’t give this movie a low rating because of the cinematography, acting ability, or direction. I simply didn’t like the film. It was a depressing story, that remains depressing, and even the aftermath is depressing.

However, from a standpoint that this is a story that needs to be told, it definitely has to be told. This reminds me of flipping channels and seeing the starving children in other countries that need our help, but we simply change the channel. We tend to ignore other peoples problems like the bum that wants to wipe your windshield. We ignore them and want them to stay away from us with their problems. This movie throws this helpless little girl’s problems in your face. And you have to squirm through the whole thing. How much I wanted to change channels, but thought I would be a scumbag for flipping! I made myself finish it!

One flaw in this film is the vantage point is from a linguist. This is fine from a clinical point of view, almost turning this film into a documentary. So the angle is wrong for a moving story line. It is a story with a message that the system is messed up and people can be unusually cruel.

Don’t watch this unless you need to be depressed.
