Mediocre

I understand the problems of telling a complicated story in only 90 minutes.

However, the Judith Janssen-character is far from believable. She spends all her time to get someone successfully prosecuted and knows all the details of the case. She convinces everyone that Lucia is guilty beyond reasonable doubt and succeeds in getting her convicted.

Still, within a day after the verdict she starts to question the guilt of Lucia? That’s peculiar at least.

Add up the unoriginal Hollywood-cliché of Judith convincing Lucia of her good intentions only at the very last moment of her visit to Lucia in prison, and it officially became a bad movie.

And that is not all. There is more like:

The detective played by Marcel Mutsers, who in the end suddenly supports the defendants party;
The significance of the flash-backs is unclear;
The support of Lucia’s fellow-inmates is surprising, if you take into account that, in the beginning of the film, Lucia had trouble with getting along with the other nurses.

That said, Paula van der Oest succeeds in creating an atmosphere that makes me interested in the rest of the movie, and Ariane Schluter is acting that good that it saves the movie for a great deal, but not totally.
