I could easily dismiss this film as a kind of artistic I Spit on Your Grave, which has even already been compared to the work of Lars Von Trier.

But is Violation something different? In parts yes, and in other parts no. The most interesting
I could easily dismiss this film as a kind of artistic I Spit on Your Grave, which has even already been compared to the work of Lars Von Trier.

But is Violation something different? In parts yes, and in other parts no.
The most interesting thing of course is how it provides a feminine look at what rape trauma means, but it's far from being the disturbing and shocking film I heard it was.
Or at least I'm too desensitized and didn't see it like that.
I mean, the film is violent, but I've seen much worse.

Certainly what it exposes is important, but there are ways to expose it without losing it in a exhibition of violence.
I just didn't find any catharsis for the lead character.

Of course, many can argue that this is the only way a lot of people can actually pay attention, but the crucial question is whether they really do so in the end.
