This movie is defintely exploitative on the count of its about men who physically abuse their women. In this case though the man picked the wrong woman to hit. J L0 was one of the rare abused women who found the mental strength to protect herself and her daughter. She was able to not only leave but show him that he messed with the wrong lady.
Its both direct and indirect because it doesnt tell people to go home and abuse their loved one, but if the viewer is a victim of abuse it might change both the way they act and view the topic. Surely enough though violence leads to more violence. Just in this movie the woman's self defense kind of shocks the man because he wouldn't have expected that.
