Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

I lived near the infamous McMartin Daycare and recall the controversy on the investigation, litigation, and long lived disparaging aftermath. I found it tedious and hard to find faith with the legal process. I was most relieved to find this story more redeeming. However, it is very hard to watch without many strong negative emotions.If you have had experience with a pedophile then I suggest you avoid this film, unless you have been successful in therapy and the memories have a lesser impact. The child actors in this film are incredibly mature to portray victims with fear, shame and horror. I hope they were treated well during this agonizing process. Then, you realize there were the actual victims whom one hopes recovered from this abuse. I pray that they have.When someone is so mentally ill, it is hard to pass harsh judgement, but it is necessary to prevent subsequent infractions and instigate laws to further protect future victims.I found it very educational to see how a professional can wield a child's darkest secrets. A parent most typically is deficient in this arena and poses a detriment to find help and recourse for their child. We definitely need this process more widely discussed and distributed.High recommend for strategies to deal with child sexual abuse, laws protecting child witnesses, and overall trust of due process for offenders.

Let me start by saying this movie was really good. I like movies that are based on true stories. Now it was very hard to watch. It's always difficult to listen to little children talk about sexual abuse and what was done to them. The thing that really irked me was the acting. It was terrible! I felt like I was watching one of those cheesy after school specials. You know the ones that tell you not to do drugs and stuff. The acting was so corny. And the guy with the stupid pony tail was the corniest of them all. The only decent actors were the small children. They do however warn you in the beginning that the movie is a dramatization but I still wasn't prepared. Overall I did enjoy the movie. I'll probably never watch it again though.

I haven't researched the background of this film, but it makes a powerful impact. I sincerely hope that all the parties who were found guilty were in fact guilty, because the only thing worse than the abuse of small children is the destruction wrought by false accusations about the abuse of small children.To strike some balance on this topic, I highly recommend the Danish film, "The Hunt" with Mads Mikkelsen.The other thing I came away with is the abject tragedy of our sexually obsessed society, of which this story is but one perspective. We are dealing increasingly with the dissemination of a worldview that sees the quest for personal sexual freedom as a very militant religious one. Nothing can be denied in the quest for personal sexual fulfillment, since it is replacing God as the only meaning that very many people believe is worth pursuing in life.The events of this story is a direct symptom of this growing worldview. It is still seen as the ugly side, the socially unacceptable dark side of the pursuit of sexual fulfillment. But as the religious zeal for sexual fulfillment grows and the values of the traditional family are relegated to obsolescence, we are sure to hear the call for greater acceptance for pedophilia in the name of love, freedom, and (of all things) education. It has long been the stance of pedophile organizations that what they do is both loving, and in the best interests of children's sexual progress toward maturity and fulfillment.As the LGBT political agenda gains momentum in our society, there will eventually be a follow- up movement to gain societal approval for pedophilia. The National Man-Boy Love Association was for a long time partnered with the LGBT front, but was jettisoned a few years back because the connection was hurting the LGBT movement politically. But we can be fairly sure that once the LGBT interests have made sufficient inroads, there will begin to be noise about the next step; acceptance for members of the NMBLA. Where we go from there God only knows.I hope we wake up and find our moral compass before that happens, but I am not optimistic, considering the current ubiquitous lack of moral and logical thinking on these issues.

Unlike the McMartin trial, there are no questions here. These folks are pure and simple child molesters. A very good adaption from a very good, large volume, so kudos to the screenwriter for boiling it down. Clayburgh and Davis are great as child shrinks. Again, character drives the story of child molestation in a daycare home. See it and weep, and learn.
