Pointedly distinguishes rape from even least risk-averse forms of sex. Bravo. That said? Brutal. Dull. Hollow.
VOR:③
I guess cinephiles should catch it; viewers of even slacker first half should follow through. But close calls on both counts. Unusual humor, boundary-pushing BDSM, for what it's worth.
