Disturbing for its anthropological truths

I was pretty blown away by the subject matter. What if the tables were completely turned? Women in power, no longer in servitude. The level of violence only reflects the reality that women face daily. An extremely difficult but clever look at societal inequality from the other shoe.

There were times I lost track as the action became overwhelming but the fundamental moral remained true. Dark and disturbing but is it dystopian? Hard to say because that's the reality for many today.
