I have worked for an organization that supports children and families dealing with child sexual abuse for a number of years. This gritty, accurate movie does justice to the range of emotions and the hard decisions many people face who encounter the life changing trauma that accompanies child sexual abuse. This is the kind of movie that can both entertain and educate an audience and it balances those two roles very well. Anyone who gives a damn about protecting our children need to watch this and listen to the unfortunate but absolutely critical message the director Harris Doran has for the audience. Well done!!

In all I think the actors did a really good job but I feel like there are a lot of movies using this same topic and therefore it's becoming over saturated with the same topic especially in independent films and it's getting ridiculous whenever every movie you check out is basically the same and I feel that it's getting really old but I do give it to the lead actress she definitely gave a very strong performance and I feel given some better opportunities she will definitely go on to shine I just didn't agree with the choices that her character was making at all and to the writers and directors I think y'all have rode this out long enough.

Each time I watch this film, I find something new. This important story about abuse and taking back your power even when the odds are against you is fabulously acted and deftly directed!

Fast-paced and disturbingly real this film kept me engaged throughout. It brought me from anger to tears without being overly dramatic or sentimental but by being honest and faithful to Angie's struggle.

The nuance of this script approaches the subject from so many sides and gives so many windows through which to experience Angie's pain and predicament. The actors in the movie also give fantastic and gut-wrenching performances. I was truly moved and have been thinking about the film days after.
