Brutal ‘The Woman’ Shocks With Bloody Satire

HollywoodChicago.com Oscarman rating: 3.5/5.0
Rating: 3.5/5.0

While some midnight screenings at the fest have pushed boundaries before (“Saw,” “Haute Tension”), there is something so brutally in your face about the repulsive acts on display that it’s easy to see why buttons were pushed.
