It depends on how you go into watching it.
I read an awful lot about it before it came out. I
do see the point the director was trying to make, about victims...

Really?
I saw it as being about power and the abuse of power.

I probably need to watch it again!
I saw it as Milos etc. being victims of, I guess, Vukmir/Vukmir's client's power.

The perspective I saw it from was more about power than victims.
Oddly enough I watched it again last night- along with Dead Snow.

I can't convince anyone else to watch it
so I can't have discussions with people in real life about it. No one wants to see it.

Cowards.
I personally think it is a fairly good film with some obvious metaphors plastered on top. Great cinematography and didn't deserve the fuss it got on release- The Human Centipede is a much more disturbing film.

I won't pretend I'm not ignorant on the intentions, just what I think Mark Kermode told me.
And as I'm a gullible Guardian reader (when I can be bothered) I happily assume everything he says is true.
