Truth is stranger – and more infuriating – than fiction.
My mouth hung open for 90 minutes watching this shocking tale of parental neglect and sexual abuse. There are so many twists, each so outrageous that I had to talk about the film all day today.
It is a bit like gawping at the scene of an accident, though. While it may empower other victims of predators, the situation is so specifically strange that it’s hard to see Abducted in Plain Sight as any kind of serious warning or enlightenment. Don’t be a shitty parent, maybe. Maybe that does need to be said more.
My nominee for worst person in a film full of them? The brother.
This is like The Up Series for misanthropes.
