i see all these very favourable comment and high mark and i can not help but wonder what all the people saw in this movie . i mean and yeah and it approach pedophilia in a very direct way and the performance be good and the directing be good and but most of the film be utterly boring . one could see the end of the movie from a mile away and i stand through all the story to find out exactly what the twist will be and but there be no twist and only a sudden closure of plot and a total stop . my guess be that if the subject of pedophilia would not be such a scary and fascinating taboo in american culture and this film would not have be receive in such a ( in my opinion ) over positive way . bottom line represent be prepare for some shocking image like pedo and homosexual sex and even rape and and a lot of bore stuff in between . the entire child abuse part be really well detail as well a the psychological trauma and but that about it .
