SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

lev-nemkin This film is disturbing and engrossing of course but it definitely is well filmed,has good acting,is very well made also you can't really take your eyes off the screen it's interesting the story that is told it's sad what happens of course after all the torture and abuse this poor girl took was almost sickening to watch but not as bad as for example A Serbian Film that's just perverse this isn't not really I've already seen this a couple of times what happens is brutal but not the most brutal abuse I've ever seen on screen I'd say check it out if you're a fan of psychological films ones that mess with your mind because this one definitely will I don't want to get into detail about what happens for those who haven't seen this but want to and people who have already know. All I'm doing is voicing my opinion I do recommend it if you want a film that is messed up but not too messed up that's the best way to put it it's more shocking to watch than brutal I mean everything this girl went through at the hands of her own family her blood you should never treat your family like that and it of course began with one of the boys from back then as an adult starting to tell the story. Give it an 8/10.

jcvamp This film frustrated me. You've got a boy who watches the abuse happening and doesn't protest, yet he obviously knows it's wrong. He's not put in a situation where he's threatened, so I don't see why he wouldn't say something to somebody. It doesn't make sense.I don't know if that qualifies as a spoiler, so I've marked it as one in case.

Gary Sahadi I was surprised. It's an unheralded movie that is powerful, moving and disturbing at the same time. It's well written, the dialog is good and it's decently acted as well. You won't be disappointed, but it is a movie that will agitate your emotions. It's not a violent slasher- type flick, and it doesn't offer blood and guts. It will grip you and upset you. All based on a true story. Watch if you can sit through it.

redrobin62-321-207311 This film is not for children. Or grandmas. Or people so sensitive to aberrant lifestyles that the bad guys in this movie will make them hurl. I must be a sick puppy because the film didn't show that much torture, I mean, not compared to some of those brutal foreign-language horror flicks like "L'Intereur" or "Irreversible."The plot is not worth going over here; it's essentially the same movie as "An American Crime" with Ellen Page and Catherine Keener. Both films are extremely daring and challenging. If, like me, you developed PTSD because of constant beatings during childhood, both films could be near impossible to watch. But I'm a sick, twisted individual, so these films are right up my alley."The Girl Next Door" is based on a true story but you have to wonder how much liberties the filmmakers too. Remove a clitoris with a blowtorch? Holy sh*t! That's about the worst form of torture I've ever heard. Glad they didn't show it. I really might have hurled myself. The acting in this movie was good; the young boys were believable, too. Again, stay away from this movie if your stomach is weak. If "Dogtooth" didn't faze you, this one won't, either.
