"Evil in the American Pastoral"

An American Crime

The more successful part of the film is that the characters are not simply masked. Except for the fact that the victims are relatively simple, other characters are given layers. If Sylvia can also be more "three-dimensional" (I don't believe in skepticism. In reality, she is so simple), of course, such a setting will obviously challenge the mainstream crowd, but the overall film has exceeded my expectations.

The rest of the way is normal, the narrative editing is smooth, almost all the actors are restrained but full of power, and Catherine Keener's performance even on the big screen still surpasses most actresses of the year.

    Cruel and shocking, both Ellen and Catherine's performances are beyond question. But IMDB viewers mentioned that the truth is far more brutal than the movie, and that the abuse by these abusers is far more brutal than the movie depicts, and no one but Stephenie showed a little sympathy or remorse in the process. A must-see movie, the imagination of a work of art is always outnumbered by reality.

    The film that I have never dared to watch, I watched it with my friends, but I still haven't finished it. It's so cruel, the little girl is so pitiful, what did she do wrong? ! Distorted human nature, a mother can actually do this, it is still based on real events, it can only be said that the reality is too cruel! May the girl's heaven be well!
