An American Crime

"This movie is messed up and this movie also reminds me of the girl next-door, which is another movie that’s really messed up"

"This is definitely the most horrific case of child abuse based on Sylvia Likens. It’s very hard to watch and knowing all the details this girl actually went though is crazy. This is so much closer to actual events then “The Girl Next Door” which just takes the story and makes up plots and people that were never there. I did my research on the actual case and this film follows it very close in comparison."

"This Is A True Story Not Even Close To How Disturbing This Movie Which Is Saying A Lot Please Be Aware You Will Be Truamatized "

"I couldn't believe what I was watching as this movie was unfolding. The things that took place in the story made me feel so sad and angry for Sylvia, I am so sorry no one stood up for her. "

"This is hard to watch, but definitely horrifying. "

"This was horrible what this little girl was put through. I can’t believe this is a true story it makes you so mad and sad that this happened. 😢"

"The crimes that Gertrude committed against Sylvia while she was supposed to be under her care were horrific but not only that, she encouraged her own children and children in the neighborhood to commit heinous violent acts against her also. All the while, the neighbors could hear Sylvia’s screams but “didn’t want to get involved.” Everyone failed her."

"Gruesome and brutal this movie is intense and well-acted. I remember the first time I saw it being appalled that it was based on a true story."

"Very well done. Hard to watch as it’s based on a true story and knowing things that actually happened were even worse. "

"Agreed, the fact that it actually happened makes it just that much worse. How anyone could do this to children is beyond me!"
