Belladonna of Sadness

" Very funky and sad. A lot of people say all the sex means it’s misogynistic, but I disagree because it doesn’t glorify any of it. It shows how much Jeanne suffers because of the men in her life. A must-watch, but not with your parents or if you have a weak stomach. "

"As a victim of SA, this movie was very moving for me. I find myself rewatching it constantly, though it doesn't have a traditional happy ending. The sex scenes can be a little much, but I choose to view several of them as symbolic.Also, be careful watching if you're sensitive to flashing lights. It's not epilepsy -friendly"

"It's hard to give something with graphic portrayals of rape (and lots of them) a thumbs up. That said, the story told is beautiful, and the inking and coloring are superb (if the animation itself isn't detracting.)"

"Wayyyy to much rape. The art is beautiful but not worth it if you struggle with this topic or have PTSD."

"very conflicted abt this one bc everyone calls it feminist but like a lot of rape-revenge stories its portrayal of the rape seems gratuitous .... the art style is beautiful tho"

"it's difficult to say I like this movie, but I really do. the graphics are beautiful and well...graphic. the entire thing is very disturbing and leaves you with a weird feeling of emptiness and sadness at the end, but for some reason I'm in love with this film"

"This might be the most tragic animated film I have watched at this point.It’s animation it really good and also includes watercolor which is spectacular you don’t usually see that much detail in a animated film.I did get really uncomfortable in some parts of the film.The only person I can recommend this film to is people who know what they’re getting into,watching a movie with really uncomfortable scenes with good animation."

"I cant even explain how much I dislike this movie"
