This was the most disgusting and depressing film I've ever seen. You have a mentally disabled teen Richard with a speech impediment who is constantly being physically abused,mentally abused, neglected and disrespected by his older brother Polly who actually turns out to be his father (that's the spoiler). The boy just takes the abuse and doesn't fight back and continues to give this evil freak love and respect while getting nothing but abuse in return. The pair live in squalor. The evil freak of a brother eventually leaves him and we watch the disabled boy whaling in sadness. The only supposed good thing about the film is the friendship Richard has with a girl who appears to feel sorry for him, but I didn't find this redeeming at all. When I was through watching I felt tearful and depressed at such evil in the world.
