I can't wrap my head around why directors think it's perfectly fine to show, without symbolism, the brutality of rape. It's done all the time, but one is led to believe that these directors, and anybody else involved in the film, are voyeuristic weirdos with nothing else on their minds while rationalizing that they are somehow telling the truth of the reality of life. Things can be suggested, people. They don't have to be spelled out. You're sick. You need help. Here's my one star to help you understand that you don't have support from me and many, many others like me. Wake up.

I am not surprised to see there are people who didn't like this movie. My best guess is they are offended to witness the acts of their forefathers. Yes, the movie has a very low pace, sometimes annoyingly slow even. Yes, the plot is quite predictable.However, unlike many other "movies" of recent, it actually has a plot. It doesn't have characters that do stupidest things for no reason at all. Acting is not of the best I have ever seen, nonetheless, it is positively above average. In fact, there is almost nothing that bothers me with this movie. It is very obvious that the makers of the movie did work hard and did a good job with the story telling, the characters and editing etc.The story is quite obvious in the trailer: the notion of civilized western justice vs the uncivilized.

Just nothing new to witness.
One guy posted "Built with imposing emotional depth, Sweet Country is an angry discourse on racism" or as I would say, crap.
We've all seen films about slavery and ruling empires for decades and this is just a diluted version. Watch "Roots" from the late 70's as this is just a watered down version of that.

The good - magnificent scenery and wonderful cinematography. The bad - acting, script and everything else.
