If you are sensitive to certain traumatic events (such as child abuse, sexual abuse, racism and sexism) it may be difficult to watch. However; when I was in elementary school my uncle showed me this movie. At first I didn't understand it well so I watched it multiple times trying to figure out what was going on. The only thing I really noticed in the movie when I watched it was the sexism. But now as I got older i finally realized what it was really about. I fully understand what they are conveying in the movie. From the a woman who was abused by multiple men in her life she was still strong and kept on going to reunite with her sister. It was a happy ending for me. Now I believe I'm going to go read the book.
