I felt compelled to write a review because I acknowledge the effort of the creators and actors. The cinematography and production is very good and the barren landscape really captures the brutal harshness of the situation the characters are in.
There are some things that are to be questioned. Like how does a diner still continue to operate serving food amidst a severe drought? And serve beef burgers no less? I thought there were no cattle left. And hotels still seem to be operating as normal while down the road there's a truck stop littered with armed thugs guarding kidnapped girls who have been forced into prostitution. I get it's a dystopian setting but this required too much suspension of disbelief. Hotels and diners and society keep operating as normal without any kind of law enforcement present while human traffickers run amok? Right
It is a dark, gritty, bleak and disturbing experience. It does not pull any punches especially when it comes to showing how women are abused and exploited by cruel masters. The acting was very good and the violence was brutal and raw. It's not a perfect movie by any means but the actors were committed to their parts and it really does show. Give it a watch
