It's not an easy film to watch, though most people who do see it will find it impossible to forget.

Rated: 3.5/4

New York Post

Examines its explosive subject matter as nonjudgmentally as Wiseman's previous studies of inner-city high schools, hospitals, courts and welfare centers.

Rated: 3/4

So why is Wiseman afraid to call this 'violence against women' in such a lengthy expose?

F. Wiseman's film is always my favorite. Public housing is my best, but I couldnt find it in this search. So I guess the second comes, reasonably, domestic violence.
