    Well done, but be advised that this is not a film you would want to let your kids see--at least on their own
    This is a film sponsored by the National Film Board of Canada and it's very, very different from anything else I've seen from this organization. In this case, the content is very, very sexual and the film is a black & white cartoon about sexual abuse. It's very graphic and disturbing--and certainly NOT something to show the kids, unless perhaps you watch it with them and discuss what is occurring. But understand that even though the graphics are simple, they are GRAPHIC! It's also not particularly pleasant viewing--particularly if you've been through the horrors of sexual abuse yourself. For the right audience, this is a very good film--just think twice before viewing.
