Madeleine Sims-Fewer as Miriam in Violation
The Big Picture Revenge thrillers usually offer us a traumatizing event that sickens us, followed by a gratifying good-for-her twist. The 2020 Shudder original, Violation, however, is bereft of any celebration, gnawing at us with constant dread as it features a horrifying sexual assault followed by a revenge that is rendered bleak. Aglow in dreamy sequences and dizzying cinematography, the film is as stifled as female rage is in real life, merciless yet poignantly hopeless.
'Violation's Filming Style Reflects the Confusion of PTSD Violation writhes between timelines, revealing intimate details of Miriam's experience in a mind-bending non-linear order, where each reveal becomes more dour than the last. When the traumatic sexual assault is finally shown on the screen, we may have expected it, but that doesn't make the viewing any less grueling.
Revenge Is Not Romanticized in 'Violation' Close Brutality is not only restricted to male violence in Violation, as Miriam exacts her own flavor of graphic sadism that, admittedly, is rendered melancholy. Like Violation, Emerald Fennell's revered installment in the rape-revenge genre, Promising Young Woman, uses a more realistic outlook on revenge.
