Traumatic Beauty
13 March 2020
The top review basically said it all, we all found ourselves watching this for the same reason. This movie is ****** up, but lets add a review people haven't talked about.

If you aren't here to "prove your a big enough man to watch this" or to "cross the most extreme movie of all time off my watch list", then you may appreciate this for it's beauty and aesthetic artwork.

The first time I watched the film, I like many others did not enjoy this. The second time I realized why I didn't like it, it got to me. It was shot well, the camera never strays away from what is happening on screen and often the entire background is black, there is nowhere for your eyes to escape to. This may have been the very factor that made me want to watch it again, you are stuck watching the pure ugly truth, nothing held back. The third time I watched this I realized the film has a well written unique story, it's ugly, taboo, depraved, powerful, and captures this heinous world we live in.

I have worked as a Paramedic for several years and feel this movie is exceptionally intoxicating. I have seen things I wish I hadn't during the course of my career, this movie gives the viewer the ability to look into these deep dark places on Earth, just like many of us have.
