Just couldn't finish "Society of the Snow"

I know it won a bunch of awards, and it was really well done. But 45 minutes into it, I realized where it was going to go. I just don't need to witness cannibalism.

Know the story well and have seen other versions. Wasn't especially impressed with this one and stopped about where you did.

I watched about 15 minutes of the Netflix film and wasn't impressed. Too much blue and white, too much blood, too dramatized etc etc. Ended it when it crashed and didn't really care to see any more sticky maroon, bluish blood.
