This film takes a radical approach to the domination of the male gaze in cinema and in society. I doubt that the film-makers condone violence or murder for any reason, but a significant murder in the plot of this movie is an eye-opener to the prevalent gender roles in most of the world. Any one who can interpret a movie from an objective standpoint to the characters should understand that the message of this film transcends the plot, and that it is vastly important to any culture.
I think it is entirely irrational and quite offensive to compare the roles of women and men in this film to Nazis and Jews, respectively, as another commenter has done. A ridiculous analogy could be quickly formed by the inverse as anyone you call a "Nazi" will instantly seem evil.
A film like this or any other deeply metaphorical film asks not to be judged realistically, but to make you think. No rational person would judge A Clockwork Orange, or Fight Club by the standards that they are irrelevant because they contain chaos and violence. However, because the killers in this movie are women and not men, it seems to get an unusual reaction out of many viewers who feel they have to defend their stance against murder. It gets an especially strong reaction out of men, it seems, because men are allowed to be anything in films, but women are still very limited.
If you are an intelligent person who can understand the themes of a film without suddenly being swayed into a murderous rampage, watch this movie. It will be like nothing else you've seen in years.
