I'll admit I wanted to watch this for Sebastian Stan; I'd never heard of it. I'm so glad I did. When it was over I wanted to immediately watch it again. This film left me hollow; it's so emotional. It's gritty, it's harsh. No one is likeable and yet you're rooting for Erin (Nicole); not her redemption but her vengence. She is filled with self loathing and hate and its destroyed her life. Destroyed those around her and you're watching her fix that in a brutal way.
You don't have over blown bad guys you have almost sympathetic ones. The whole thing felt realistic and honest and that's why it left me feeling numb; watching all those emotions there are none left for yourself.
If you like an intellectual slow-pace movie I would highly recommend it. Sod those who think it's boring. Film shouldn't provide you with a thrill ride every time. A film should sometimes make you think and this really does.
