The scenes are extremely graphic. The movie is pretty good, although Kong feels less strongly about it than he did immediately after watching it. Certainly worth checking out.

Zellweger for sure was enjoyable. Kong wasn't criticizing her at all. It's the way the parts were written that Kong didn't like. Hoffman never quite overcame the writing, but Zellweger did.

Kong didn't see it theatrically. He saw the screener that studios send out to indie theaters to persuade them to book the film, and there was no short on it.
