Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

hupfons5 Excellent movie -- better than many bigger budget Hollywood feature films. You'll miss out on a good movie if you fall victim to the bias that made-for-TV productions aren't worth seeing.The story and the acting are first-rate. It's not only well worth watching, but the DVD is one that you'll have no problem including in your video collection.(SPOILER) Unexpected plot twists tied to the interplay between the Amish and modern-day cultures heighten the drama and character development.Solid performances by the entire cast. Allison Pill and Mariska Hargitay prove that they can shine in demanding roles.

dixietrixie We watched this movie because of Mariska Hagertay! The story seemed interesting and a different vehicle for Mrs. Hagertay. So we gave it a try (from beginning to end). But, though entertaining, some research could have been made about the Old Order Amish people & its history before coming out with this movie. The attorney (Mariska) stated during defense arguments, that there had NEVER been a murder within the Amish community EVER. That's not true! In Pennsylvania in March 1993, Ed Gingerish gruesomely killed his wife Katie (crime library). This is a must read for anyone wanting to learn a bit more about the Amish ways. In the movie, the young lady who's baby died, wears a white covering cap. Only married women wear white caps, single Amish girls wear black covering caps. Movies can be delightful fiction but when pretentiously coming out with statements, they should be researched.

cmhughes-1 Wow. The movie ended about 20 minutes ago, and I have to say that it took me some time after to regain the ability to blink. While it was in some ways your typical made-for-TV film, it had twists and turns that one definitely does not expect, and just when you think you are headed in the right direction, your mind is spun out of control in the opposite way.The fact that it is based about an 18 year old Amish girl is a key factor in this murder mystery. It seems in this family, everyone has a secret to tell, but no one is talking. I've not read the book...but I think I know what I'm going to do the next time I'm at the library! This movie tale definitely made me want to delve deeper and see what from what was played out on screen to what that author actually wrote on paper.

mee_n_ky This movie was wonderful. It had you guessing the whole time and changing your mind about what happened. I felt so sorry for Katie she wanted to tell the truth so that her family would still accept her and she could stay in the community but then Ellie wanted her to stand up for herself so that she wouldn't go to prison. When you thought you knew what happened the story changed just enough to make you change your mind. Mariska Hargitay and Alison Pill are great actresses. I have always loved Hargitay's work and can't wait to view more of Pill's work. I hope everyone else takes the time to watch this movie. Hope to see more movies like this soon.
