An American Crime (2007)




The true story of suburban housewife Gertrude Baniszewski, who kept a teenage girl locked in the basement of her Indiana home during the 1960s.

This is a very delicate depiction of a much more harrowing story which involved torture and the eventual death of the young girl. The movie, however, does manage to delve into the depths of human depravity without triggering the fault in just one direction. A very complex crime well photographed and with great acting from all involved.
