Again I am here with a bunch of movie reviews which were a part of activity last weekend....
AN AMERICAN CRIME
This movie falls in my favorite genre - True story.
*ing Ellen Page(awsm acting), Catherine Keener
This is a true story of a suburban single mother Gertrude Baniszewski, who kept a teenage girl locked in the basement in her Indiana home during the 1960s.
The opening courtroom scenes and disclaimer that "actual transcripts" were used make that clear. There's something about a "true crime" drama that triggers a desire to sit through whatever terrifying images lie ahead. And the images conjured up here are bone-chilling.
The movie is so-so but the story needs to be known to everybody. I cannot imagine a mother of 6 kids to do something like this. But this needs to reach each and every house of the world.
Sylvia and Jennie, daughters of traveling carnival workers are left for an extended stay at the Indianapolis home of single mother Gertrude Baniszewski and her 7 kids. I do not know that this movie depicts what actually happened but I still believe that the truth is more shocking that the movie itself.
So try to watch this movie if you can but beware this can be horrifying for a few.
