Seconded. Not a movie for folks who are just seeking a bit of light-hearted escapist fantasy.

If it's a haunting and powerful film experience you're looking for, and you think you can stomach quite a lot of grim brutality, then by all means give it a go.

I personally thought it was wonderful, even if it wasn't quite the movie that the trailers had prepared me for, but I nonetheless had to spend much of the running time watching it through the gaps between my fingers (stamina in the face of extreme grotesqueness was never one of my strong points).
