This film seems to have received mixed reviews and it does have a simple storyline when told in chronological fashion. Here the chronology is deliberately set askew to allow the facts of the story to unfold at a slower, more thought provoking pace.
We read about similar tragedies all too often and never seem to give them the importance that they deserve. This picture attempts to correct some of that. If you really disliked this film see No One Would Tell (1996) (TV) http://us.imdb.com/Details?0117191 which tells a somewhat similar story in the normal chronology and then ask yourself, "Which was more effective"
Overall, I'd recommend this film to those that care more more about character development than plot points.
