On Easter Eve, 1991, the normalcy of 76-year-old Florence Holway's rural life came to a shocking, abrupt end when a 26-year-old intruder broke in to her home and brutally raped her. The horrifying attack marked the beginning of the New Hampshire artist and grandmother's 12-year struggle to bring her rapist to justice--and bring change to a flawed legal system.

Reviews

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
