About
You’ll likely like it if you enjoy true-crime courtroom dramas with a tense, grim atmosphere and lots of unanswered questions; Not for you if you want a straightforward, tightly paced movie without controversy, since it’s often compared unfavorably to The Exorcism of Emily Rose and Trial by Fire.
Pros: compelling mother performance; suspenseful courtroom tension; well-sequenced case events | Cons: slow, uneven pacing; story too thin; characters underdeveloped
