    Every character is a charisma black hole. Except the mum shagger. Hero Fiennes is the most talentless nepo baby since Brooklyn Beckham.

    ★★★★

    A debut effort from an indie director managing to be this unflinching and raw in its depiction of sexual assault, without ever stepping into the territory of shock value or insensitivity is a triumph in of itself. An incredible film that refuses to shy away from brutally and honestly depicting the true consequences of a patriarchy that works at every level of society to facilitate rape culture.

    It took almost 25 years after WW2 for Germany to decriminalise sex between men and almost 50 to abolish paragraph 175. Fascism didn’t die with Hitler. Far-right billionaires doing Nazi salutes and donating millions to racist political parties means it still hasn’t.

    Frustrating from start to finish. This film does exactly what it sets out to do, and it does it very well. But beyond the stellar performances it didn’t work for me at all.
