L'homme qui a brisé ma fille

The closing statement that the judge in this remake made was a lot similar to the closing statement the judge in the original version made.

"How many of you have been hit? Who among you slaps your girlfriend? Well, this is against the law; it's wrong... and you watched it happen to Sarah and you did nothing. You have a responsibility to the people you care about. If you see them hurting or see them in trouble, you step in and do something about it. Tell someone so that this does not happen again."

Silence has claimed the lives of many. While one may understandably feel as though they have no right to intervene, abuse and sexual assault cases can prove to have tragic consequences. Help the ones you love. Tell someone, and urge them to do the same.

I have watched the original version of this movie numerous times, but I would never watch this version again. Newer TV movies aren't re-watchable like the ones from the old days, but besides that, I feel this particular version was much more emotional and heavy, too much so for me.

I thought the casting of all the main players was good. I'm not understanding this theory that Fred Savage and the lastest guy to play the role were too nice looking, too innocent looking.

What does an abuser look like? Is he supposed to look rough and tough? Guys who look like nice guys can't beat the crap out of someone and make them feel horrible? Thinking like that is stupid, and obviously it isn't true.

I feel some people don't realize this movie and the original are based on a true crime, so they think it is OK to make insensitive statements.

I actually thought this movie was done very well. I have missed seeing Shannen on the screen during her battle with cancer. Glad to see her back. I am not sure why anyone would rate this movie low. It is a Lifetime TV movie all of them are pretty good, but not meant to be a big screen production. If you watch TV movies you would already know this. Anyway, I think that this was a great example of a DV teen relationship. They don't want anyone to know, the guy makes them feel amazing one minute and the next abuses them. I wish there were more of these to bring awareness. You hear about other issues but never DV teen relationships.

I liked the first version of this movie with Candace Cameron Bure much better. However, this version was good too. This isn't the first time LMN aired a movie about teenagers getting abused by their boyfriends. Its sort of the norm. But this one feels a little different from the rest. I'm not sure If I like the actress they picked for the main Character. It was great to see Shannen Doherty back on the small screen. She was great in the film. It was nothing special but still a little entertaining, to say the least.

Good update to the domestic violence for teens. I remember the older movie. Fred Savage was wrong in the first one too angelic looking.

The acting is good. The violence is quite spontaneous looking well acted and scary.

I haven't seen a serious issue Lifetime movie for a while and this is a welcome departure from the psycho thriller theme.

Nice to see Shannen so healthy and pretty again after her illness.
