They thought it was disgusting and pointless. I came away disallusioned (mainly from their response) and later decided I should have seen this film on my own. Because I thought it was a very well made cautionary tale in the vein of Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake. Gritty, raw and poignant. I totally agree with you, SF Guy. It told a story that wasn't pretty with some magnificent cinematography and superbly played by the various actors. Disturbing and real. You might like my review of Pan's Labyrinth at the Alien Next Door (http://sfgirl-thealiennextdoor.blogspot.com/2007/05/pans-labyrinth-innocence-has-power-evil.html).
