Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

HomeyTao For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

bettycjung 2/18/18. I admire Linor Abargil for having the inner strength and determination to make something positive out of being raped. She went on to become a lawyer and then brought the rapist to justice and went on to raise awareness of the importance for raped women to speak up. Not too many women have the wherewithal to do something like this (well, maybe Gloria Allred pioneered this approach, and Abargil just expanded it onto a global scale). Better editing would have made the movie more cohesive. Nevertheless, the stories of raped women were so sad to hear.

Sindre Kaspersen American actress, producer and director Cecilia Peck's second documentary feature which she co-produced, is inspired by real events and the filmmakers meeting with a former gentile and a film producer. It premiered in the United States, was shot on locations in Italy, USA, Israel and South Africa and is an Italy-USA-Israel-South Africa co-production which was produced by producers Inbal B. Lessner and Motty Reif. It tells the story about an Israeli sister, theater actress, lawyer, lecturer, mother and wife named Linor Abargil, born in the city of Netanya, Israel in the early 1980s and in the late 1990s as an eighteen-year-old, crowned Miss Israel.Distinctly and subtly directed by American filmmaker Cecilia Peck, this quietly paced documentary which is narrated from multiple viewpoints though mostly by and from the person in question's point of view, draws a somewhat biographical portrayal of a person whom after being designated as a victim in judicial terms, autonomously eradicates the label from her identity, stands up for herself in virtuous indignation, reduces silence, invokes her female intuition, becomes revolution, rebuilds her life and by example demonstrates the consequences which follows when someone violates a Jewish woman. While notable for its atmospheric and versatile milieu depictions and cinematography, this dialog-driven and narrative-driven story about a daughter, supported by her family and friends, whose personal experiences takes her to new acquaintances and drives her into global advocacy for women's rights, was made more than a century after a French sister and educator baptized Marie taught a French child first named Marie the Braille alphabet, the finger-spelling alphabet and how to communicate with sign language, thirty-nine years after a professional Belgian revolutionary feminist filmmaker with a given name of French origins released a narrative feature with a Lebanese actress named Delphine Claire Beltiane Seyrig, one year before a Nigerian author named Chimamanda Ngoz Adichie released a book and the storyteller, in an interview, said: "The feminine force is a force that can win the world over." and an American mother sang: "… do you think they'll try to break my balls? … should I trust the government? … will they put me in the firing line?" this substantial retelling contains straightforward conversations and a great and timely score by composers Martin Tillman and Ben Harper.This transcending and embryonic human journey which is set in Italy, USA, Israel and South Africa in the late 20th century and early 21st century and where parents are there for their firstborn child, numerous women are interviewed about their involuntarily non-consensual experiences, her story is told, her pride is intact and her Jewishness is not in doubt, is impelled and reinforced by its cogent narrative structure, rhythmic continuity, multiple stories and comment by a survivor: "They are saying we wish to hear the perpetrator, and you are uninteresting. Stay home and write a letter. It's yet another violation … A pacifying documentary feature.

MartinHafer As a husband and father of two daughters, this film naturally had a strong impact on me. It's the story about Linor Abargil, a woman who was crowned Miss World back in 1998...only weeks after she was raped. But it's not a story just about her victimization but about her taking control of her life. Abargil has made it her life's calling to publicize her story and use her celebrity status to lecture and meet with rape victims all over the world. Throughout this wonderful and brave film, you see her meeting with various victims around the world, such as in South Africa, the US and Italy...as well as in her native Israel. She gives inspirational talks that encourage victims, both men and women, to come forward and break the silence. Their stories are very touching and makes a huge emotional impact. But in addition to being inspired, the film will occasionally make you angry. Prosecutors who told rape victims to drop the charges because the accused it 'cute', fraternities that chant and laugh about rape as well as offenders who SOUND convincing and sincere when they proclaim their innocence...all these are bound to shock you and make you angry. This is definitely a film to watch along with a box of Kleenex...as well as with your loved ones-- especially your teens. My only regret is that I wish this film had been available back when I used to be a psychotherapist, as most of my clients were sexual abuse victims and really could have benefited from Linor's story.Technically speaking, this film is what you'd expect. It's well edited and makes a very strong impact on the viewer. I sure hope to see more from Cecelia Peck, as she expertly directed this terrific documentary and, like Linor, showed a lot of courage to make such a film. See "Brave Miss World"...and if you live here in the States, you most likely can, as it just debuted on Netflix's streaming service.

n bai I just saw this documentary and it was touching. You realize how rape is being a taboo all over the world.Because of Linor showing herself and her feelings in a very honest way you also see how much effect rape has on people.The flow of the documentary was alright. In the beginning I was more captivated by it, after Linor took a break from shooting, the documentary became more distant. All in all I love how this documentary makes rape a more open topic. For girls that have been assaulted I think this documentary will give them more strength to be open about it and to keep their heads up.
