this film has raised awareness and conversations around some complexities of abuse. many victims may not be able to resonate with the victim/perpetrator dynamic the film promotes domestic abuse as, maybe even feeling like they have not been able to follow Lily’s example and harbor self-blame. In reality, the experience of abuse is much more complex, gritty, lonely, heavily judged and misunderstood. The overall message that should be taken away from the film and in real life, is abuse is never ever the victim’s fault and always that of the abuser, regardless of personal trauma, background, job title, ethnicity, age and financial status.
