Girl in the Box

This is one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen. It is absolutely compelling, gripping and emotional. This movie is very intense so if you are extremely sensitive (like me - this movie will haunt me for days) just be prepared. You'll feel a wave of emotions; anger, sadness, confoundment...and probably want to turn it off. I know I did.

I'm really conflicted as I believe a lot of people were after watching it because it was beautifully filmed and well acted by everyone throughout, especially Addison even though she doesn't say much and doesn't break out of what seems to be a constant state of shock and complacency maybe? I don't know but she really did an amazing job of not over acting and not under acting. I have great feelings about a film well done (acting, production, direction, cinematography, etc.) about an event so heartbreaking.

Overall I enjoyed this movie; it kept me engaged throughout and stuck fairly close to the true narrative, but did have a lot of creative liberties take .

Along with that, I thought the acting was good in this film. Addison Timlin have a good performance as Coleen Stan, and made the movie believable and the performances by Zane Holts and Zelda Williams were decent, not great, but well enough to make for a decent movie. The production and film direction were above average for its class, and that trend continued through the movie.

This is one of the better movies that Lifetime has released, so if you're a LT fan, it's right up your alley.

I've followed and read this story and the movie captured it really well. Amazing acting and just an all round sickening story. I love true crime and thus is one of those stories that sticks with you. How she overcame this is beyond me and the Stockholm syndrome is real! Brain washing and absolute turmoil but a must see. My husband felt sick watching it and the disregard for human life. I love lifetime movies but this didn't even feel like one, it was extremely well filmed and captured the essence of the horrific story perfectly. Moral of the story please don't hitch hike!!! I have before in my 20's...never again.

I actually thoroughly enjoyed this movie. For a lifetime movie I was hooked. Unbelievable what two human beings can do to somebody and how sick and demented the human mind can be. I'm so glad she was able to escape and tell her her story. The guy who plays Cam was a great actor. For a lifetime movie the acting was solid. I hated him the whole movie, but that's exactly what his job was as an actor to make us hate him.

I would recommend this movie to a true crime lover, like myself. I came into watching this movie with no knowledge of the real case. If you have about an hour and 20 minutes to spare, I would suggest anyone who hasn't seen this movie to give it a go.

Really enjoyed this biography not so much for the story but for the realism created by the actors and the director. I'm truly amazed. This LMN movie has really blown my mind all around.
