I wasn't impressed with either acting or direction, and inclusion of music which had no bearing on the movie wasn't a help. Typical of American Z movies, using "modern" music to make the movie valid.
However, the storyline, weak as it was, was valid. The story had been told before, and will be told again. It works on many levels mainly because, it tells truths, whether we like it or not.
People, young and old, have been accused of crimes they did not commit. Sex crimes are regarded as the worst, and rightly so. The mere hint of accusation, has ruined lives. Exoneration has not returned those lives. Shame on us who accept the lies, and don't embrace the victims of these lies.
