No cheap shocks, meticulous filmmaking

Like the protagonist, the movie is very cold and neat. Seeing the daily life of a paedophile is unsettling, but nothing is gratuitous. Influence from mentor Michael Haneke is obvious, in a good way. Read and rate it

Subtle and Interesting

Although It deals with a very dark and shocking subject, all the shocking action is only suggested, which helps you delve into the mind and routine of a perverted person. Read and rate it
