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. "

"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."

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

"It's very hard to watch, especially knowing how close to the real events it is. "

"This movie was well put together but watching it once was enough for me. #unthinkablecrime "

"I really hate when people compare this movie to The Girl Next Door... too many people think this is just a watered down version of that movie and a poor rendering of the book by same name. The reality is this movie has absolutely nothing to do with The Girl Next Door. That book exploited and glorified a real life crime and takes up the brutality up 10 notches and the movie adaptation is no better. This movie actually treats the real life victim with sensitivity and some respect."
