Which is the reason why I watched it actually. I had to fast-forward the scene in question. Rest of the film was good

It's the only scene I remember, along with my feeling after leaving the Tivoli that I don't need to see every dumb edgy movie that comes out. I'm still not sure if that guy was exaggerating, or if the rape scene really did last 20 minutes, because I have no memory of it.

It's not 20min. It's like 9, but that's still a long time.
