I can easily see how people can express different opinions about Martyrs. The diference from one act to the next- it almost seemed like a colaboration between 2 directors. I really liked the begining and middle, but the ending felt long and dull. Not to say the ending was dull, just after answering and raising all the questions from the first half of the movie, any chance of maintaining an emotion impact had been spent (for me).

It was a really good movie, a strange, twisting and twisted tale that was also very fresh and original. If you have problems watching a woman get tortured, I would stay far away from this one.
