About
If you can handle dark, fact-based abduction stories like I Am Elizabeth Smart, this is a tense, emotionally heavy watch; Not for you if you want something light, comforting, or easy to shake off afterward.
Pros: gripping true story; strong performances; intense emotional pull | Cons: very upsetting subject; bleak throughout; may feel exploitative
