memorable for all of the wrong reasons - Rape Me review by CP Customer
Real sex as a carrot? This film is full of real nasty violence for no reason whatsoever. The challenge of a narrative without rhyme or reason does seem appealing, but unfortunately just feels repugnent. Does not hit me in any posative level and it certainly cannot be regarded as art.

Challenging - Rape Me review by SB
This film is short (only just over an hour), very sexually explicit and also violent. The English title is not an accurate translation of the original French, which designates much more accurately what this film is about in psychological and sociological terms.
The story is simple, and shows the last few days of two young women doing unto men (and a few women) what has been done to the two women for all of their lives. The film gains by focussing relentlessly on the women and not what might be happening to catch them. Depending on their mindset, audiences are likely to be either horrified - or exhilarated.
