Firstly, it must be said that if you are seriously disturbed by slaughterhouse scenes then this is not the film for you. This is the main setting, after all, and there are real documentary-style elements within.
However, once the main plot device of having the two major characters share a dream context (and many details) kicks in, then it develops into something rich and rewarding, although still with disturbing elements. There are also some well-handled subplots involving low-level corruption and devious behaviour. Both fundamentally lonely - for different reasons - they are gradually drawn into a shared fate and to a very human conclusion.
Very affecting.
