If you're familiar with the case, don't waste your time. This movie will make you angry. It portrays Ruby Franke as a victim of Jodi Hildabrant and try's to evoke the sympathy of the audience for her at times. These women are both monsters and the movie neglects to emphasize the amount of abuse that was inflicted on the children, leaving SO MUCH about the abuse that they had to endure at the hands of their own mother and her disgusting friend. It fails to include the most significant journal entries that Ruby wrote, ones that show how disgusted she was by her children and show her full motives for the abuse. I was so angry about how Ruby was portrayed. The emphasis was way to much on Hildabrant, perhaps so Heather Locklear could get more screen time. Save yourself some energy and time. Skip this farce of a movie.

Will start off by saying Ruby's husband was beyond weak allowing such changes in their marriage,therefore he should of been held accountable for not doing more sooner.

They both allowed Jodi to overtake so many decisions because as a husband,yet more importantly father it was irresponsible for him to not have any legal protection regarding the kids,property,finances & more.. I get he loved his wife but still,felt he gave too freely or didn't fight harder as things went on- Call the police,go to court or anything at least his daughter tried.

Speaking of police.. After seeing how mom & two daughters acted why did they not ask the daughter for home entry or call the father,even social services instead just leave without follow-up.

Even though towards the movies end you see remorse or more sorry she got caught,you didn't feel any sympathy only anger over Ruby's tears.

Hope the kids recovered with time & frankly,would never trust Ruby over her decisions again & that Jodi never is allowed again to do this.

Glad their social media was removed,such hypocritical or dangerous advice that leads to crimes never should be montenized.

Worth checking out,but will upset you.

Starring a former Dynasty TV-series actress, this film has your expectations low. And that is great. Because this is actually a good film. Everyone who was raised in religious families know that there is always that someone who wants to take advantage of that. And here, it is exploited to the max. The main villain plays people's lives like pawns on a chess board. And it even ties up in marital sex. And the social media aspect is well written. Don't be offended if you are a mormon. This story could be told inside any religion or even amongst atheists. Best part is there are actually people like this living amongst us. Who will be the next victim?
