Nope. Don't think I'll be trying this one out. Too grim... way too slow. I love a good revenge flick, but I like a bit more action & less pregnant pausing.

I may have a look. Not sure yet.

I highly doubt I would want to watch this one.

While this Western is interesting and artistically daring, it's sadistically brutal and borderline offensive with a slice of revenge porn thrown in for good measure. The films core aim is to expose the subjugation of women but it spends most of the of time just hurting and humiliating them in very graphic ways. I'd sum it up as a twisted farrago of sadism, misogyny and sexual perversion. Imagine Gaspar Noe and Lars Von Trier got together to make a exploitation picture sans any style or elegance.
