Just watched the preview and I don't think I could bear to watch the movie. I know it is about things that are really happening, but I still don't think I could bear to watch it.

Sometimes the world is a truly terrible place.

As I mentioned in my review, it was in my queue and I knew I needed to eventually see it. It was definitely worth it. You just have to be in the right frame of mind. It's very well done. I know that sounds weird, but it really is a beautiful film in a way.
