Girl in Room 13

I got through about 6 minutes of this movie and I think that was too long. The acting is horrible. I hate to speak ill of the dead, but Anne Heche overacts and seems spastic. I don't know why they paired her with a man who looks half her age and she looks like his mother. There is absolutely no chemistry and their relationship as husband and wife is not believable at all. Her hairdresser either did an awful job on her hair or she just didn't bother to comb it. It looked unkempt. I know this is based on a true story. But this story needed better actors. I think Otis the dog is the best actor in the entire cast.

Bitter sweet considering,was one of the last tv projects of Anne's before her death.

That being said.. She didn't seem healthy,was it just me feeling this?

Granted was portraying a frantic mom,but seemed more substance induced.

Was a difficult subject matter that was portrayed,all the cast was decent enough.

I'm surprised the parents didn't go to the news channel,have the one social media savvy daughter post online & so forth.. It wasn't until many days later,they finally put up posters after the authorities didn't do much.

Felt maybe the storyline was lacking some context,but most of the acting carried things ok.. The previews made it more compelling.

Unfortunately have seen other movies,that brought said topic to light better.

Not a film interested in watching,again.. Despite Anne(RIP)being in it.

Its a reimagining of a real story so a lot of fantasy fiction involved and the actors themselves couldn't pull off real emotion so its hard to like given the actors are acting and kind of poorly except the boyfriend actor he actually pulls off his role well but everyone else was probably a miscast as none really portrayed any feelings at all to me anyways.

I really feel plastic people are not very good at acting anymore. I think actors who could portray real emotion would have better suited here for the "drama" this film is supposed to be showing to everyone who is watchin it.

Its just disappointing as it could have been great had a few more decent actors been purchased.

I thought the film was simple and had a very strong message about human trafficking. Anne Heche was, imho great. This is what the films should be like. There was no mention of her in the In memoriam at the Oscars, which shows what Hollywood is all about.

This film is a must watch, it shows how to recognize the abuse, the victims, the turmoil. Victims are not just women, they are men and children, too. We watch but we don't see, we should look at people around us, we need to recognize this in real life in order to help victims.

Message at the end of the film is this in 2020 the International Labour Organisation estimated that there are currently 25 million victims of human trafficking around the world.

To conduct their operations, traffickers need the assistance of hospitality industry, the banking system to launder money, the transportation industry, and Internet platforms to recruit and advertise their victims.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING is a $150 billion a year global industry.

I had no idea who was in the movie when I started watching. Typical low budget tv movie producing. The odd thing was that after an hour, I was befuddled by the mother character. While I couldn't fault the actress' passion, her addled, frantic approach at first seemed like wild overacting, but after a while, seemed more like the antics of a drug addict... ironic since the movie is about a former addiction daughter. She didn't play distressed mother, she played... brain fried druggie. That's when I looked up the info on the channel info and saw it was Anne Heche. Wow... you can see how far gone she was... life intruding on art. The other actors actually seem surprisingly good, and they simply... act normally around Heche's crazy frantic acting.
