We recommend that you watch the film yourself and form your own opinion. The film offers a simple exposition but has a great deal deeper meaning, than can initially be guessed at.

The movie that traumatized Jennifer Lawrence

Leading actress Jennifer Lawrence also had her gripes on the film: she was so traumatized by the shooting of the film that she then a year break from filming had to do. In an interview with deadline she said: “It was the only time that I [in einem Film] have lost. I couldn’t tell my body that none of this is true. I kept hyperventilating.”
