CGiii Comment
Overwrought, stylised and brutal.
Let down by some grim direction and stilted acting.
The power that it has...shatters and upholds stereotypes - which is rather clever.
It could have been stunning - but, displays all the cowardice when adapting a disturbing novel.
Powerful stuff nonetheless.
