I would compare watching this movie with reading a classic depressed Russian novel.
At no point is it an enjoyable experience, neither is it fun, but you're still somehow compelled to finish it, clinging on to some shred of optimism for the situation depicted.
This movie perfectly and accurately depicts the staggeringly harmful effect an abusive household has on multiple generations of children; how it sucks everyone around it into its blend of misery and insanity; how the affected finally snap under the pressure of the situation as they reach the limit of coping with their situation.
I would never watch this movie again. Neither would I recommend it to anyone else. But I will likely never forget it.
DO NOT go into this movie expecting some mafia-thriller whatever. This is a psychological piece of art, not a piece of entertainment.
