Review
It was only a question of time
before Hollywood would capitalize on the Gypsy Rose case, and this
thriller directed and co-written by Aneesh Chaganty opens promisingly
with Sarah Paulson playing an overprotective mother who has
home-schooled and raised her disabled teenage daughter by herself.
Casting real-life wheelchair user Kiera Allen as the daughter was a
clever and effective approach, because Allen's authentic and emotionally
resonant performance is what retains the film's authenticity right up
until the cliché-ridden final third, at which point Paulson's character
tips over from three-dimensional to horror genre stereotype. The
wonderful Pat Healy appears in a miniscule role as the local postman.
