      Audience Member Poorly written, poorly preformed, poorly edited, poorly everything. This "movie", if one can even call it that, is possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. While the novel does an excellent job at portraying the effects rape can have on a family, the movie, however, does not. It's poor transition from book to movie is one of the worst I've seen. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't know why I watched but I watched the whole thing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I wanted to love this, but there was something missing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Decent HBO movie. Crazy parents messing up a perfectly happy family. Not based on a real family, but I am sure there's one out there somewhere.. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A difficult project considering how large the book is. It had a few shaky transitions, but it managed to bring life to most of the book's characters and did include the important elements of the book. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Love Shawn Robs. xoxo Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
