Use only cruel snippets to swindle sympathy

This movie really makes me sick and speechless. Good subject matter is so wasted.

The characters are pale and stiff like wood, and the plot is illogical. Are the children the puppets of their mothers? Do whatever you want.

That little boy, neighbors, and classmates don't even care if they die, and they still participate in the abuse together and enjoy it together. Is the motive for the abuse sufficient? All of them are psychopaths, and the screenwriter himself can't tell.

Did the victim or her sister have no chance to call for help? The perpetrator is only a middle-aged woman, so deterrent? Or are you sarcastic about the American police that I just don't understand?

The victim's parents left the two daughters at a stranger's house and ignored them. In order to obey the plot, the time for the two to return was delayed again and again. At the final judgment, the father did not look sad at all.

It's completely miserable for the sake of being miserable, and it's all about piling up inhuman sadistic clips to deceive the audience's sympathy. The ending is simply because the perpetrator has a mental illness and is acquitted, which makes the audience even more angry.

I can also make up this kind of disgusting plot.... first describe the good life of a family... and then the son or daughter is kidnapped... a large part in the middle is used to show the perpetrator The more cruel the means, the better... finally caught

It’s not enough to have only horrific sadistic scenes in this subject matter. You don’t watch other scenes in this movie. You will feel angry and sad just by watching the sadistic scenes in the middle. What we need more is to explore in depth. This phenomenon does not flow on the surface. A really good movie should make the audience think after watching it, why is there such a phenomenon? When this phenomenon occurs, what should be done from the perspective of different people? How to prevent this kind of thing from happening?

Recommend a few movies about this theme, this is a movie that can really make people think.

    Ellen Page's acting skills have always been unquestionable. Going back to the movie itself or the event itself, it is also a movie based on a real event. Although the protagonist is not considered a marginal person in society, he lacks humanity. I don’t understand why this film should be translated into this name. Not because of brutal methods, but because of indiscriminate accomplices. Fulfilling the saying, where the sun does not shine, sin breeds.

    Is this also possible? ? Oh my God. . One of the most shocking adaptations of true events I've seen recently. How many blind people got together to make such a thing?
