Movies about Violence, Physical Abuse
These are some movies I've come across that were helpful to me regarding being beaten as a child.
Affliction.
This is an amazing movie about the end-state of a dysfunctional family, showing the varying effects of trauma on people in their 50's, and the slow departure from mainstream priorities. I'm amazed that it was made as a commercial movie.
Good Will Hunting.
Although I tend to avoid Affleck-Damon movies, this was very good. Deals with the 22-year old vintage of trauma results.
