Emm B Great film for a Lifetime movie. Story took some liberties, and it’s clear she had some mental health issues. Glad it was more nuanced than painting her as just a straight up one dimensional villan. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Nicole J False information. She wants that great Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Georgette L Great actors and the storyline didn't waste to much time on her whining.👍👍👍 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Me and the wife was actually pleasantly surprised and pleased with this show. Yes, it was good and well worth watching James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, February 1, 2023. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Dana S This movie is terrible. It's sappy and unbelievable even though many aspects are suppose yo be true. Acting is aweful! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Kaitlin M While some parts were overacted (as per usual for a Lifetime movie), the plot was still interesting enough to want to see the ending. I didn't really know about the case prior to watching, so if you know a lot about the case you might not like it because several parts are over-dramatized or outright fictionalized. But other than that, it was pretty good for a Lifetime movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
