I remember my therapist telling me that when it came to support groups, sexual assault and abuse survivors often were not benefited from it. They didn't want to talk about it and relive their experiences. They didn't need to be retraumatized.

If survivors did want to talk about what happened, it needed to be on their teams and only if they brought it up. Plus movies are for freaking entertainment not for therapy. They're not meant to be helpful, they're meant to freak your brain out and cause emotions. People give stupid advice.

I had a friend who was sexually assaulted, and some well-meaning but ignorant friend kept telling her she "had to forgive" her abuser. Her freaking abuser wasn't even sorry. And no, she didn't. She told me long ago she never planned on it and never would, and she is happier for it. People give stupid advice over stupid shit.
