The Slap

AudienceAudience: 7.3

At an Australian backyard barbecue, a man slaps another family’s misbehaving child, bringing the gathering to an abrupt end. When the child’s parents pursue legal action, police involvement forces friends and relatives to take sides, putting relationships and family bonds under intense pressure.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy gritty, morally challenging ensemble dramas that examine relationships under pressure; Not for you if you prefer fast-paced stories, sympathetic characters, or easy resolutions.
