This was a horrific crime. It's amazing that she survived, and a huge relief the perpetrators were caught. It was brave of Alison to relive it and to do what she has done since.
But from the first shot of Alison opening a book and reading from it like a bedtime story, to the flowery graphics and twinkling music, it felt more like a fairytale. I was waiting for a pumpkin to turn into a carriage and take her off to live happily ever after in the end.
So for me, the stylistic choices distracted from the tragedy, almost making light of the situation. If it was meant to show Alison's how throughout the process, in my opinion it completely failed.
