I lack the energy to properly blast this film, because it has sucked the life out of me. Just another fabricated tragedy, designed to inspire guilt because you're not a poor white trash single mother (grand mother) with a murdered daughter, abusive boyfriends, a cheating husband, and so on. When the movie isn't playing out like a commercial full of abused dogs, it's completely absurd. Not only is she a lousy mother, she's a lousy grand mother/surrogate mother for her son/grandson. Did you know that when the cops find out what happened to your missing daughter a decade later, they don't tell you what happened, you have to harass the killer's wife to get an interview with the killer in prison? Or that they don't have you identify the remains, and you don't have a funeral, instead they take you to the burial spot and hold up the 'Do Not Cross' Police barrier tape so you can wallow in the shallow muddy grave where the remains were uncovered? Sure, that could happen.
Once again faith placed in IMDBs reviews and ratings was misplaced and my trust was abused. If only there was a system in place to prevent every extra, and production assistant's nephew from giving a crap movie a 8-10 star review and claims of being a "powerful character driven drama". Not sure why I'm not rating this lower, it doesn't deserve 6 stars, and the false positive reviews certainly could use a reality check.
