Trivia
The film was re-cut by the international distributor, Reliant Pictures International, without informing the filmmakers. The film's producers objected to this because it broke contractual obligations to the Barbers. Also, since the story is true, the re-cut was defamatory.

Goofs
The movie never shows how Caroline got Rachel's body to the Kilmore farm. Caroline kept Rachel's body in her apartment for two days, then wrapped it in two rugs and took it by taxi to her father's Kilmore farm. Caroline told the taxi driver that she was moving a statue. She then buried Rachel's body in a shallow grave.

Brilliantly directed.

I saw a movie today that moved me. I watched it by chance. I almost returned the movie to Netflix without watching. But, as luck would have it, I had nothing else to do, and nothing on my DVR, so I popped it in. I was in a trance the entire time. Simone North did something that is rarely done in movies today. She got a gut wrenching, honest and realistic performance. Ruth Bradley should have won an Oscar for her performance. The realistic portrayal of insanity was amazing. I was reading some reviews and was quite disappointed by their negative opinions of the movie. I am not sure what has happened to Hollywood. Why is it so one sided now? Why must everything in the movies be about portraying America as Bad and evil, the minority as the victim, the homosexual as the hero....I am okay with all of that IF THE MOVIE IS GOOD! Focus on the story, the acting....stop with the regurgitation of last years hits. Thank you Simone North for stepping out of the box and giving us some amazing performances.
