User Reviews

child abuse victim takes on many personalities.

This movie is ABOLUTELY the VERY BEST movie I have ever seen! It can chill you to the bone at times as well as make you sick, however, it shows how victims cope with verbal and physical abuse. If you have ever been exposed or know someone who has,this movie can give you great insight!!!! With all the mental illness in this country people need to be aware of the dramatic effects of abuse.
