This is the first film that bothered me. I remember starting to cry because I had terrible anxiety once it was over...but somehow, even now, about 3 years later, I can't get it out of my mind. It's a dark film, and I thought it was interestingly executed with how the "circus" is a representation of the abused child's state of mind...whenever she was happy, it'd show a circus that was happy and normal. When the abuse began, her circus became dark and odd. Very psychological, and not for someone who is sensitive to abuse or incest.

One has no idea what exactly is coming next in this disturbing study of a deranged writing process. Is someone actually being kept in a cello case, forced to watch sexual acts, and waiting to become the sexual heir to mysogonists? Maybe, but figuring out what the fuck is going on keeps this slightly above it's cheap and demeaning porn-like backdrop.
