L'impensable vérité

I knew going in this was a Lifetime movie and set my expectations accordingly, then was pleasantly surprised by how intense it became. It starts out with a slow burn then ramps up and doesn't let go until the very end. That's where it lost me, though, that terribly explained ending that didn't tie up all the loose ends. Thinking I may have missed something, I looked for online reviews of this movie and didn't find anything helpful. It jumps from the climax to a wind down scene, a just-deserts scene, and then a final scene. The problem is the climax doesn't resolve and forcing a scene change where they did is a cheat because there was no good way for the heroine to get out of the situation. I know I'm being a little vague, that's because I don't want to give anything away. It's frustrating though because everything up to that point was done so well, but that ending... No thriller should leave you with unanswered questions.

It's just bad. People will blame the actors but I'm guessing it's the director. The entire movie is an awkward and unnecessary appeal to the male gaze. I know it might seem like a stretch, but I get the feeling the director is a creep. All the female characters adhere to a strange, soft spoken and sultry prototype the entire film and its detrimental to their performance. It's blatant career suicide for all women involved. Poor Gretchen Weiners deserved better.

It has a very soap opera vibe. The plot is promising but it's poorly executed. The music doesn't fit the scene (think suspenseful music alongside stills of art supplies). If you want to watch a bad movie, which honestly sometimes that's what I'm looking for, this is a great pick. Want something to fall asleep to? This is it. Want something to passively watch as you clean house? This might be a good pick. Something to get drunk with friends and yell at while you take shots? It's an alright choice.

I usually watch unheard of movies based on reviews here. Anything 4.8 and above is worth a watch in my opinion. I tried to stomach this movie until the end, but couldn't make it. It is extremely boring. The acting is not terrible but it's far from great. If you can hold your attention for more than 30 minutes, it might be worth a watch for you.

Great movie totally gonna by it on dvd, totally great movie with a twist.

I came to see reviews bc the high rating on Prime is totally misleading. It's fine that it's a made for tv thing, but to make it seem comparable to blockbuster productions 10/10, THAT'S laughable.

Cliche story and production for soap opera daytime fans. If that's your jam, this is right there. Not bad to leave on while doing other things. Not going to blow anyone away with its production value. Low attention span content.
