The Seasoning House was a film that is easy to admire but hard to enjoy. It was a grim film set in a brothel during the break-up of Yugoslavia. From a technical level, it was excellent since it had great make-up attempts for all the violence and did look like it was shot in a war zone. It's hard to believe it was filmed in London.
Rosie Day is an actress I really like and she did give a fantastic performance as a young deaf-mute who suffered constantly and had to fight to survive. But The Seasoning House was relentlessly grim as it showed a carnival of misery as it shows women getting drugged, raped, and killed and Angel forced to go through a war zone.
