    Pure bullshit. Nothing more. The only good thing in the movie are the horses.

    So bad, but so bad, that is almost a thing.

    I saw this movie in 2008.
    At a time I was studing horror genre movies and that's how I came across Martyrs.

    The first thing that I thought when I finish seeing Martys was: why is that no one, or almost no one, talks about a movie that is so, so, so good and so different? Today I understand that was precisely the reason - because it is so unique, different and difficult to see.

    That are only a few…

    Very delicate movie. A simple story with "real" characters.
    Unique editing. In some point I thought I had lost a poece of the movie. But I didn't. It was only the brillant editing choice of the director. It put us in the trauma of the characters. At first it wasn't easy, but the "bad taste in my mouth" was rewarded when I could find the way out of it.
    Last note: a superb Natalie Portman.
