One of the most intense lifetime films

This is one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen. It is absolutely compelling, gripping and emotional. This movie is very intense so if you are extremely sensitive (like me - this movie will haunt me for days) just be prepared. You'll feel a wave of emotions; anger, sadness, confoundment...and probably want to turn it off. I know I did.

I'm really conflicted as I believe a lot of people were after watching it because it was beautifully filmed and well acted by everyone throughout, especially Addison even though she doesn't say much and doesn't break out of what seems to be a constant state of shock and complacency maybe? I don't know but she really did an amazing job of not over acting and not under acting. I have great feelings about a film well done (acting, production, direction, cinematography, etc.) about an event so heartbreaking.
