Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

It earned strong reviews (87% on Rotten Tomatoes), though it had almost no lasting buzz and soft box office. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Right up the alley of people who like their stories with a little danger and people who like stories about real, flawed people. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. If you loved The Asphalt Jungle or Glengarry Glen Ross, start here.
The mood: Dark and gritty.
The pace: Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off: It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Young student Bai Xuemei is cheated and sold as a wife by human traffickers to a remote village. Raped and beaten, she leads the life of a sex slave and child-bearer with no hope of escape because of the villagers apathy and selfishness.
