TWs for pedophilia. incest, child abuse and heavy gore.

So I saw this movie knowing absolutely next to nothing which I wish I did because there's a lot (A LOT!!) of warnings and I have seen people recommend this movie before but no one ever mentions these things. I think these are the major content warnings: bdsm, explicit sex, pedophilia, incest, sexual assault, gore, violence.

Spoilers but read this if you want to have a little idea about the movie before going in, and especially if you're susceptible to the aforementioned triggers; The main character is used as a sort of sex slave her entire life and her uncle is very abusive and a pedophile.

it's a beautiful movie but get prepared to be disappointed a little . .

I loved this movie overall. The aesthetic was great, the 90's setting was very beautiful and it made you feel like you're actually in that time period. The songs were very fitting of that scenario too. I loved the side characters, the love between the main character and her adoptive (?) sister was very heartwarming ! I was extremely immersed in the movie the whole time. The chemistry between the protagonists was perfect and you could feel them falling in love; it felt so natural and beautiful.
Now, let's talk about where the movie goes wrong: The last breakup. It was completely avoidable and unnecessary. They could have ended the movie on a brighter and happier note. This movie made me feel a lot of emotions, the cinematography and the overall vibe was so pretty and heartwarming. I just wish the story would have been executed better. I keep wanting to re-watch it but I definitely won't because I don't want to feel upset about the protagonist's decision again!! Something i want to tell everyone is that breaking up isn't the only option in relationships and you can definitely talk it out whatever it is (even your boyfriend being accused of murder and hiding it from you, yes.)
