The film is very difficult to watch even in comparison with other films on sexual crimes. The thing that makes the film so hard to watch is that it comprises of other crimes like murder together with equally disturbing crimes like rape. There is also a lot of child victimization, which tends to affect the children at a later age. All the scenes of the film are disturbing, the scene where Bjurman rapes Lisbeth is disturbing as well as the scene where Lisbeth takes her revenge. However, the scene on revenge is less pitiful as it is about paying for the sins one has committed although it looks crueler.
