Just an awful movie!
When we saw this movie premiered originally in 2017 and was made in Canada, we thought, this should be good! Well, we couldn't have been more disappointed. The movie was confusing and all over the map. Lots and lots of plotholes and a terrible script. Even Emmanuelle Vaugier couldn't save this one from being washed away! Horrible!
Writing awful
User ratings were mixed but, bad writing was one of the most often mentioned comments. I didn't plan on reviewing this movie but the writing was so bad I felt compelled to add my comments. Examples: # 1 - wife is at work, late at night, she hears noises. She investigates, in a darkly lit area, no one else appears to be in the building, and she is confronted by an unknown man in the stairwell. No one, but particularly a woman, alone in a building, is blindly going to investigate noises like she did. Example # 2 - her daughter is walking along a street, in what is shown as an uninhabited area, and behind her is an unknown man, approximately 10 feet away. She walks along at a normal pace and then starts running. Again, it's not a realistic scene. Don't these women carry cellphones? Every one carries one these days. And surely if you're investigating noises or walking alone in a remote area you would have your phone with you. The movie is billed as a drama and in my opinion the writer didn't emphasize the drama in scenes that could have benefited from realistic suspense. There are many more examples but I've made my point.
Other user reviews comment on bad acting. I agree that some actors gave lackluster performances which brings down the quality of the movie.
For reasons stated in my review I gave the movie 4 out of 10 stars.

Just Plain Bad
You call this acting?? Try as she may even Emmanuelle Vaugier couldn't save this movie from all of the BAD acting. The actress who played Brooklyn did not get the part on her acting skills alone, quite surely she is the producer or directors wife, daughter or niece. You can also see the twists and turns from a mile away. Don't waste your time watching such horrible acting, with the exception of Emmanuelle Vaugier .
Title Change, Incomplete Credits
Once again Lifetime has shown a movie under a different name than the original. It was just broadcast under the title "Betrayed by My Husband". I wonder why they do that? Though the new title does sound more like the type of title Lifetime uses than "Washed Away" does. Still, I am curious as to why they change titles on some movies. This isn't the first time that has happened.
The credits here on IMDB are incomplete, too. The daughter, Lexa, is not credited. She doesn't have a major role, but certainly one large enough to warrant a credit. Once again, strange.
As for the movie itself, it's just another formulaic Lifetime movie, though with some semi-interesting editing. Still, not good enough to earn it more than 4 stars.

Terrible acting
The start of the movie was ok and I decided to go on after checking it in the beginning: the story was promising but then after a while I realized the plot was not developing well due to terrible acting ( apart few exceptions) and not so good direction. If you put in the bucket a lack
Of empathy and a general sense of "nonsense" about some of the scenes development, you feel a lot of things are not working in this film. I usually don't mind to see those things of thrillers with suspense but this is one of the worst I ever seen.
