The way the film is made makes much of the difficult-to-stomach stuff non-visceral, at least that's what I felt. And the imprisonment is packed into the first ten minutes or so of the film. The friend who gave it to me said it deals with difficult stuff, and when I asked her what it was about, she said 'I can't tell you that.' And for myself I think it was the best way to go into watching the film.

I would recommend watching it, to anyone and everyone. It won't make for pleasant viewing, but the stuff has a point, it's not just shock-value-porn. And like I said, it's mostly non-visceral so potential shock is purposely dulled (though experiences may differ.)
