Thank you for sharing, anon. I think the reason why I said I don’t know if I like it or not, it’s actually because it feels realistic and goes beyond the usual clichés so it’s disturbing. But Gillian’s acting is really good and it’s probably one of her toughest and strongest role.
As someone who has been raped I must say that Straightheads is the only movie I have seen who did a great attempt in writing abuse in an honest way. For the first time you didn’t get too see that standard post rape shower scene where the victim almost scrubs off their skin. Instead you got to see what it’s like more in detail emotionally and Gillian played it so well almost as if she knew what it’s like or had spoken to rape victims. I will always be so thankful she agreed to tell this story.
