With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for armchair detectives and people who'll be looking things up afterwards. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Fans of Girl in the Picture or The Imposter should feel right at home. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 27 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
Kara Robinson Chamberlain recounts in vivid detail being taken at gun point from a friend’s front yard. Forced into in a cramped, dark storage container in her captor’s car, Kara instantly knew her life was in grave danger. In a moment she describes as a divine intervention, the 15-year-old realized she had to be her own victor and take her life back; she had to escape.
