And I don't mean good weird ... I mean bad weird! I'm only half way through this movie & compelled to write this. First of all, the score is annoying as hell! And what the F is wrong with Julia Roberts' character? I hope that's revealed soon. I can't believe Julia Roberts did this movie! What was she thinking?

This was difficult to watch, but I couldn't look away. And I must say, I admire Kerri for being so willing to tell her story & be so vulnerable. I felt like she enabled me to get in her head & experience first hand what she went thru each step of the way. I found her account very personal, even intimate. From start to finish her account made sense & I ask you, how often have we had such a revealing & personal account from a family member who was so close to a serial murderer? Her father was the most important person on her life! Can you even try to imagine what she has gone thru in her life? Some reviews are critical of her. I absolutely don't understand that & it makes me angry. I wish I could say I enjoyed this film, but I can't! I can, however, say that I'm glad I watched it. I think the more we can try to understand why killers do what they do, the closer we can get to an answer as to how to prevent these killings. The human psyche is a complicated thing. And yet, Kerri never got the answer to "why" her father did what he did. She even asked him in a letter she sent him if something happened to him as a child. He didn't answer her. Bottom line is that here Kerri is able to show us the after effects of what happens to the people, family members, left behind. I feel for her & I am very glad she has become an advocate for the victims & other people left behind. I wish only peace for Kerri now. She definitely deserves it!
