We must carve out as much love and beauty as we can from a world so desperate to destroy us.

I still don't like this but my brother really wanted to watch it so I did him a favour. He loved it, and I'm glad he got that much out of it. Sometimes that's enough.

A terrifying, blood-curdling story about a working-class woman who is abused, tortured, starved and neglected by a monstrous misogynist psychopath who is so pathologically obsessed with a skewed elitist idea of the purity of the English language that he's willing to completely wreck people's lives over it. She eventually finds her entire being controlled and dominated by him, so much so that even when she finally tries to escape she can't go back to the way she was... and might not even have been able to leave him at all. "Where the devil are my slippers" indeed.

I actually think it's kind of clever that Gallo tried to deflect criticism of his narcissism by getting someone else to suck his dick for him.
