      You're sick asf it's acting.....yea her brother did what he did..but when it comes to a great actor or actress they can channel things that are deep...some actors and actresses literally study serial killers, rapist and beyond to get in to the roll....I just felt like you went to deep for no reason

    There are some roles that actors or actresses portray that make me dislike them so much even after I see them in other films. But Moniques acting was so good that I was able to see her flexibility in playing such a terrible character so well, and still being able to see her in a good light after.
    Some people just don't work it the way she does.
    The book is more graphic, but the film was done very well.
    Bravo to the cast for acting their hearts out and making sure everyone was ok on set, I'm sure it wasn't easy.
