Review of An American Crime (2007) by Judith G — 10 Nov 2008
I loved this movie, emotionally powerful, a recommendation to all Catherine Keener and/or Ellen Page fans! But I hate the title... it's not only an "American" crime, it tragically happens throughout the world.
Sylvia's story deserved to be called something more heartfelt. Catherine Keener and Ellen Page grabbed me as Gertrude and Sylvia. They are both superb in this film! I didn't know the (true) story of Sylvia Likens before I watched this so when realization of Sylvia's 'dream-like' scene near the end hit me, I cried for hours.
