I'd give Alison the human 10,000,000 stars for surviving and being an inspiration. Her telling of her story is so powerful! Alison the film, however, feels incomplete after the initial telling of the story. The filmmaker's attempts to tell more parts of the story fall flat and don't give Alison the woman the same space and power. Still glad I watched it, though. Alison the woman is an inspiration!

Headline says it all. The movie was fine. Very Lifetime Movie. But it didn't live up to the book at all.
