Trailblazing filmmaker Martha Coolidge’s uncompromising feature debut centers on an intense reenactment of her experience of rape in her adolescence. A high-stakes experiment in metacinema, this unflinchingly personal hybrid of documentary and fiction examines attitudes concerning consent and self-blame, the on-screen representation of sexual violence and the limits of artistic catharsis.
