Gut wrenching performances, a well structured narrative, and a great cast makes "An American Crime" one of the finer movies to depict one of the most gruesome travesties of the twentieth century...
What purpose does this film serve? I have watched it, and I have contemplated it, and I can come up with no good reason for it to exist.
Something like watching a train wreck, An American Crime is both morbidly riveting and psychologically sickening -- definitely not a film for the weak of heart.
Poorly conceived and helmed, O'Haver's fact-based drama of the horrific 1965 child abuse, is an excruciating experiece of watching violence onscreen witout any illuminating angle or insight; Catherine Keener gives her most problematic performance to date
