If you have not yet seen this film, I recommend that you don't. Sexual assault and rape are difficult topics to address in film, although it can be done in a way that both preserves the dignity of the victim and states a necessary message. This (frankly I don't even want to call it a film) steaming pile of trash did neither.
Instead, it's painfully clear that it was written by three men who have never, at and point in their lives, spoken to a rape victim. The female lead is treated like a prop, only a plot device to tell the stories of the men in her life. As a result, anyone watching this is being force fed the message that it's the victims responsibility to love and forgive their rapist so that he can have an uplifting redemption story. This content is harmful, and I would discourage anyone from watching it. Ignorance is better than misinformation after all.
