Excellent portrayal of one of life's tragedies
15 February 2007
This is an excellent movie with 5 star acting for all actors involved. I've heard many comments that this movie should be pulled from the shelves, or that it's too sensitive of subject matter. Frankly, if you do not know the difference between watching a movie and acting, then do not watch this movie. For those who can appreciate the drama and lessons shown in film, this is a superb tale. Bastard Out Of Carolina is exactly that, a story about a "bastard" who commits one of life's most horrific tragedies; sexual child abuse. It will have you cringing and crying, but despite all the emotions it pulls out of you, it's no different then many other films depicting tragedy in some humans lives, be that death, divorce, illness, or child abuse. It does the job of showing us the reality of child rape extremely well.
