I don't often agree with Ebert. But in this case, I do. This movie was awful. And the rape scene was just uncalled for. Long, drawn out with nothing happening and then ending it with the most violent, graphic acts you can do to a woman. How in the world would this movie win anything?
I mean it doesn't take much to do better than a mainstream film in the Philippines, but this just hurt the image of independent films of this country. I can't get these images out of my head. This should be put in the same category as the Serbian Movie.
For me, I'd say this movie should be banned. Or at least Cannes should start changing who decides the winner.
