Not an easy watch, I still have a knot in my stomach. Raw film making, with a heavy topic, limited dialogue, and some beautiful shots. I found it distressing but that is nothing compared to what women are forced to endure. Our protagonist Sofia, is withdrawn and numb, the trauma transforms her. You question whether she'll ever be free-spirited like we see in the beginning, ever, again. It's criminal to rob a woman of her body, her essence, her soul. I felt deep sadness and privilege throughout.
