Un amour étouffant

I saw the movie on TV, It was a wakeup call for all mankind alike. Controlling someone is WRONG and DEADLY. I have a 14 yr old Daughter who would have a better understanding of things to notice when controlling starts. The thing is, once controlling starts it accelerates like a runaway train. The only way to stop that train is to notice it coming and get off the tracks, let professionals slow down and possibly stop the unavoidable disaster. I think Stacey did a remarkable performance. that is just the way some if not most girls in a situation like that respond. Fred was also remarkable. The escalation was so believable i was in awe. PLEASE PLAY IT AGAIN.

Fred Savage's acting in this movie was very convincing. I've always seen him in good guy roles. I actually believed he was a psychopath! Great movie! Two-thumbs up!

I was forced to watch this in Health class like many other movies. But this was actually really well done. It showed how someone can actually get sucked into an abusive relationship. For something of this nature being showed to a class of immature 15-year-old's there were actually very few things to laugh at. They showed it with very little cheese. and I think the judge at the end was actually kind of like a message to everyone out there. This movie almost made me cry. And I never cry.

People seem to get an image that Stacy Collins is stupid for putting up with her abusive boyfriend but if you watch closely you see that he has brainwashed her into thinking that she is wrong and that he loves her no matter what. You might also say that the beginning gives away the end. Well it does but the flashback is used to show the effects that an abusive relationship can do to the people involved in the relationship and the families of the couple. The sad thing is that this is a true story.

For a tv movie this one is excellent. About an abusive relationship. After watching this I developed a strong sense of power in me. I don't think Stacey had that. Although It ended tragiclly I'm glad she realised what Bobby was doing is wrong. All girls should watch this. Hopefully it will be repeated.
