The Nightingale (2019)

An Irish ex-convict in Australia has been waiting for her ticket of leave from a British officer for months, but he is refusing to give it because he enjoys raping her too much. That she's married with a child is of no matter to him. Though she has played nice in hopes of eventually securing her release, she finally chooses the path of vengeance when he leaves her nothing else to live for.

Though the film is full of brutality, the most upsetting thing is the inhumanity of the soldiers. They're worse than monsters and it's terrifying that our current-day cops and soldiers operate similarly: a veneer of respectability that hides/excuses depravity.
