      Audience Member one of the best movies ever shows you how much a person loves or rejects their child Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Half a star because it's so upsetting, though everything about it is absolutely realistic. No amount of fiction could ever match the depravity of man. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
