The most extreme film on this site. A pregnant woman, her house, and a woman with scissors.

The most extreme film on this site and it should be approached accordingly.
A pregnant woman four months after the car accident that killed her partner, alone in her house on Christmas Eve, the night before she is induced. A woman knocks on the door and knows her name.
Bustillo and Maury shoot it in deep red and black with an escalating body count of people who arrive to help, and the film's method is that it never cuts away and never lets the situation become survivable.
Béatrice Dalle is extraordinary and the film gives her a motive late that reframes everything without excusing any of it.
It is technically superb, which is precisely what makes it so difficult. Nothing about it is careless.
Watch it once, if at all. Do not put it on for somebody who has not asked for it.
