Now here's a movie that gets by on age and topic alone. Directed by a woman, Outrage tells the story of a young girl whose life is ruined when she gets raped on her way home. And for sure, for its time, it's a pretty bold and daring undertaking, but the film itself is pretty damn terrible.
The setup is pretty simple, and it could've been effective too. It could've worked as a subtle/nuanced film, or as a punch-in-the-gut type drama, but instead, you get bad melodrama and poor performances. At least the film is short and moves about at a decent pace, but it leads nowhere interesting.
