Saw it last night and, frankly, my significant other and I both thought that it didn’t live up to the reviews and that many scenes – particularly during the first half of the film – were too intense, violent and disturbing: torture, intentional blinding of a child, immolation, etc. We agreed that the plot was interesting, but had we known more about the content of the film, we would have seen something else.
