Spoiler & Trigger Warnings 

For some reason,we are still at a point where portrayed rapists can’t be attractive, in shape, or “normal.” That might hit too close to home. But in reality, rapists aren’t always the kind of person who gives you the creeps when you look at them. Sometimes rapists are attractive, or wealthy, or charming. Sometimes they are trusted friends. If this film was so determined to showing us an unflinching look at the rape itself, why not go a step further and commit to admitting that not only the most obvious monsters rape? Why are we willing to concede that rape exists and is a horrible, atrocious thing, but we still can’t fully accept that it happens to all of us, not just the disenfranchised or vulnerable, and the perpetrators aren’t just the predators lurking in dark alleys? Are we worried about making our audiences uncomfortable? Weren’t we already?
