Irreversible
Irreversible
A woman’s lover and her ex-boyfriend take justice into their own hands after she becomes the victim of a rapist. Because some acts can’t be undone. Because man is an animal. Because the desire for vengeance is a natural impulse. Because most crimes remain unpunished.

Irreversible is one of the most upsetting films I have watched in years. It follows the day of a trio and you go through the story from the ending to the beginning. Once you realize what has taken place, the ending (beginning of their day) is all the more upsetting.
Shot in what feels like one continuous run, Irreversible is relentless in its approach to make you feel disoriented and ultimately disgusted. This film is truly an endurance test and I must add a strong trigger warning for sexual abuse and violence.
A well shot and well acted film…I’m still not sure if I would recommend it. Watch at your own risk.
