Bleak, well-written, the ending is too much, I felt.
What a raw, beautiful and heart wrenching depiction of an unhappy child's life. Honestly heartbreaking and fascinating in a terrifying way - like this is horrible but I can't look away kinda vibe. Give it a go also to see what kind of lives and people exist in the NL (trigger warning: extremely religious farmers)
