OMG I just watched this film.

It's absolutely amazing.

Disturbing, difficult to watch, but an eye-opener.

Some people will probably say I shouldn't have watched it, seeing as it's an 18 over here and has very strong content, but it was amazing.

It's about two kids who get sexually abused by their basketball coach when they were 8. Both have effects when they're older. One drifts into prostitution as a result of being sexual compulsive after a lot of abuse, the other suffers from psychogenic amnesia thinking he was taken by aliens. It really makes you think. They were both on the same team, and played "games" with their coach.

Some parts of the film were very emotional. Especially the rape scene. It is a must see.

Watch it.

Just out of curiosity I would like to check out the movie.

Movies like this are very educational and we all can learn from them.

I actually just added the movie to my Netflix queue.
