The Gabby Petito Story

I think this could have been put together so much better. This was a sad story. I could not stop watching the news I just felt the movie was too rushed.. no chemistry between characters .... Any of them.

The best friend was beyond cheesy. She seemed more into herself than the role. What's up with the eyelashes There was no lead up, I didn't have any connection with anyone Gabby deserved so much better

How do we know what their last words were? I know this isn't 100% accurate. But we don't know what was going on.

Brian and his family are absolutely horrible people Karma has its way of working around.

I think this movie is decent for Lifetime standards. I don't get however that they cast Gabby's "mom" as an actor that is 12 years apart from the actress that plays Gabby. It's very obvious she doesn't look like she would be her mom IRL. So idk casting could have been better!! I know sometimes this happens but it just seems kind of dumb and I am an actor and producer so I don't see how they cast it like this because it's not believeable. The acting was ok and I honestly haven't heard of this story until now but I like to watch these type of movies if they are done at least somewhat believable.

To all those who are complaining that the filmmakers didn't have permission to make the movie, I think you need to shift your focus.

A few years ago in the US four women per day were murdered most often by a current or former partner.

Recently it's now five women per day. No one else is doing anything substantial to help stop women in this country from being murdered, nor stop the victim blaming, except movies like this which show what an abuser and victim look like.

It does a fantastic job of showing the different stages in a situation between an abusive partner and their victim.

Movies like this save lives much more than people who complain about little things.

This movie only serves to prove the fact that Hollywood is without morals.

This poor girl only died LAST YEAR in 2021, and there is already a movie about it, ONE year it took for some low life proeuction company to turn it her ruthless murder into entertainment. And that is all they've tried to do here.

This isn't some facutal documentary covering the details of a crime, this is a dramatised movie, for entetainment purposes. I dont see how anybody could watch this and not feel disgusted by its exsistance this soon aftere the event.

Everybody invovled in this movie should be ashamed of themselves. From the writer and directer, to the C and D list celebrities they bought cheap to play the roles. Shame on everybody. I bet nobody invovled would like to see a cheap movie being made about the murder of their own kid only a year after they had been burtally murdered. Disgusting. That's all it is.

Lifetime did not have permission to make this movie. They made it anyway. They did not have the rights to Gabby's image. They made it anyway.

They had 30 minutes of ads throughout the premiere and are now selling the movie for $5 online. Yet not a dime has been given to the Gabby Petito Foundation. That's just wrong.

If you want to watch the movie, I'd suggest finding a way that doesn't involve Lifetime getting any money from it (Arrrrr).

They re-enacted Gabby's videos, her pictures, they re-enacted the Moab police stop. It's weird, the actress even wore the same clothes Gabby did. The rest of the story is highly fictionalized. They got pretty much all the fictionalized parts wrong. But I'm not here to correct them, that's up to Gabby's family.

I'm giving it 3 stars because the actress did nail Gabby's voice and mannerisms.
