A heart-rending drama about the indifference of the American medical and judicial system, and let's face it, that's also the indifference you'll find in so many other places around the world.

And it's a reality that makes it clear to millions of victims of sexual assault that their experience and suffering will simply not receive justice.
It goes without saying how many of these victims do not even attempt to go through the situations experienced by the protagonist of this story.

Urgent and necessary. It's no longer even a question of demanding change, but of getting people who usually look the other way to actually pay attention.

Excellent directorial debut, and an impressive performance by the lead actress.

Sexual assault is a subject that carries important implications on multiple fronts, and it deserves serious treatment when committed to film. Unfortunately, writer-director Shatara Michelle Ford's debut feature leaves much to be desired inSexual assault is a subject that carries important implications on multiple fronts, and it deserves serious treatment when committed to film. Unfortunately, writer-director Shatara Michelle Ford's debut feature leaves much to be desired in its handling of the topic. While the picture's heart may be in the right place -- a look at the often-frustrating handling involved in collecting forensic evidence in a rape case -- its execution of the story often misses the mark. Some issues and events are needlessly stretched out, while others receive short shrift and others still are addressed somewhat flippantly (a genuinely surprising approach in a story like this). I'm certainly not suggesting that the film lacks merit, but it surely could have been constructed more effectively than how it comes across in its current version. Admittedly, this release features some fine performances and intriguing cinematography, but the overall package is uneven, weakening whatever insights the film has to offer. Considerable retooling is necessary to fulfill this offering's potential and to convey the message of a subject that deserves better treatment. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. very slow very delibrate very minimal script. simple and effective. reminds me of sound of metal. in some ways it was a telemovie but a very good one. could not give an eight coz the woman's character was a little unbelievable. she's aldy a grown woman but behaved like a little curious girl being cajoled by the wolves into the dangerous 'date rape pill'.....
