This is a very sad and horrifying movie, it's based on the true story of Sylvia Likens. What was done to Sylvia by Gertrude Baniszewski and her kids was absolutely disgusting. This movie is hard to watch, and is uncomfortable to watch at times. I'm glad they made a movie about poor Sylvia and what happened to her. I find a lot of movies about true crime can be ok, but you don't get the true representation of the crimes. This movie didn't shy away from what truly happened to Sylvia and what that monster of a woman did to her. If you have read or seen anything about the story of Sylvia Likens and you're interested in it, then I think you will like this movie. It really is a great movie!
