Review of Irreversible (2002) by Mikaela F — 06 Nov 2009

Extremely powerful, terribly unflinching and undeniably well made. Impressive in almost every way but almost impossible to reccomend, it makes the bold statement that "Rape and violence are bad".

I appreciate a new perspective on an old situation and the ability to meditate unafraid on the genuinley horrific (hence the 4 stars) but I won't pretend that I feel any differantly about violence and rape.

I hate to be so critical of a movie I thought so much of but I couldn't go without voicing this complaint.
