I did give Calvaire a try, because Netflix compared it to Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Straw Dogs.
I hated it. It made #3 in my list of worst movies I watched last year, where I described it as "a boring movie about pigf**kers." And I had such high hopes for the film.
I do love David Lynch movies, but emphatically do not love Calvaire.
Thanks to Netflix, I fell into the same trap...atleast I didnt' suffer alone!
