Features like these tend to bank on shock value, and I must say, whenever it reaches for the darker stuff, the narrative showcases its true value.
You get uncomfortable because of what you see on screen; it makes your stomach churn, it makes you feel disgusted and angry and sad. Suffice it to say the writing does a commendable job in that regard.
However, the rest of the screenplay is an incoherent mess plagued with inconsistencies and abrupt tonal shifts. Therefore, it fails to complement the impact of all the disturbing imagery and sickening auditory exposition.
That said, it's still a hard-hitting film if you take it at face value.
P. S. Faint hearts, please keep your distance!
