It was really hyped several months ago when I heard about this movie and some awards they got from some movie festivals. I couldn't help but wonder and became even more curious for what it is all about.
A few weeks later I managed to watch it with English subtitle due to its language and accent which I hardly understand. It was divided into four parts with different sub title in each act. However, it was not that necessary since it displayed the same background all the way but only different in the main protagonist's position in the story.
At first, in the beginning of the story went well enough until the part where she killed almost all the robbers and got raped in the process. I wasn't impressed at all and the bitter taste continued until the end.
I was wondering so many things during that time when I watched the entire movie. Let's say I did not enjoy it as a whole to fully concentrate and excited for what came next. It was like just an obligation to finish it and see if something will change towards the end. Unfortunately, I was expecting too much for it. I can say that it was definitely in the opposite thinking when I watched '3Billboards outside Ebbing Missouri'. Actually it has a good premise or theme or even idea if only they did it as classy Hollywood's Oscar movies with great details and interpretation aside from acting itself.
In the end, I can understand why it wasn't chosen as a finalist in Oscar best foreign movie. It is just not good enough for me as a mere viewer/audience who love to watch any kind of movie.
