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 maintains 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.
