Terry Gilliam's says in his disclaimer to the film: Some people will hate this movie. Some will love it. Some won't understand what's going on. I think that is very true. It is very disturbing, but a beautiful experiment in storytelling. I've never seen a film that was truly from the point of view of a child--that explores her reactions, her imagination, and thoughts. While the "reality" of the story was horrific, the way young Jeliza-Rose deals with her situation is fascinating and inspiring. I don't think I can watch it again, but I'm glad I did take this one on.
