Inaccurate, Boring, Too Condensed, Too Watered Down.


This movie is an all-around disgrace to the real story. I've done thorough research and was ver disappointed how the movie turned out.

Through the years I have read some of the transcripts and wow nasty stuff and I would have to say it was watered down! But then to show the real and nasty horror of her situation may of not gotten this film even made. But then many films based on real life situations tend to be watered down or changed for these and other reasons.

I completely agree. What I also wonder is why Gertrude Baniszewski is portrayed as a struggling and «almost humane» single mother. If anything, she was not humane at all. Almost not human.
