    Cheers to U.S. District Court Judge Julius Miner who ordered that permits be written to screen this film in the city of Chicago after Mayor Daley attempted to ban it for its "sexual content and realistic dialogue about rape."

    R rated version would probably be 5/5

    ★★★★½

    The redux version is a soulless, nightmarish beast without compassion. It's violent and uncomfortable and strange and excessive and exhausting.
    Would it be disingenuous to depict this war in any other way?
