An American Crime
This is another difficult to watch Ellen Page film (the other being Hard Candy). I haven't even seen Juno yet and I know that this girl is going to be around for awhile.
The story is based on a true story about a girl in the 60s who is locked up in the basement by her caregiver and is brutally torchured by the woman and her children and others in the neighborhood. I knew the story ahead of time and thus knew the movie would be pretty unsettling and it really was. It has a very haunting perspective without pulling any cheap shots.
An American Crime is definitely worth watching and if I ever find the DVD I'll snap it up.
