I am done with Oscar bait crap like this.
This movie never shows you the weight and pathos these acts had on these children and the adults they became. We never see the brutal, ugly first hand for what it is, outside an expositional glimpse. Instead it decides to focus on these four boring f** uncovering the story for you. What a waste of a potentially gut-wrenching movie. F**cking Inside Out, a GODAMN CHILDREN'S MOVIE about literal emotional archetypes, had better writing, more emotion and more depth of character, narrative and theme, than a gritty grounded drama about a child sex abuse scandal. Process that for a minute.
I am officially done with these "experts" giving mediocre films a pass. A film is not intrinsically good just cause it's super-serial bro! I'm now conditioned to think any movie these the Academy and Critics hype up won't be remembered a year after release. Don't waste your time with this one.
