It apparently includes “multiple brutal rape scenes in its first 30 minutes.” An audience member who left, IndieWire writes, reportedly shouted, “She’s already been raped, we don’t need to see it again.
“I can understand people not wanting to see things if they’ve had bad events happen in their lives and it’s triggering. I completely understand that, and I would protect people’s right to make that decision. But this to me really indicates a massive problem, because there are people who don’t want to accept that this happens and it’s a terrible thing.
