Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
WHAT I LIKE
This was a well describe trip into insanity. You are in the mental institution with Dr Miranda Grey. You are in that impossible situation with her. You feel her personal fear, it's not your fear but hers. It has unanswered questions from beginning till the very end. It had a great ending and closure which you do not find in lot of movies.
WHAT I DID NOT LIKE
The path to her answers seemed impossible, I don't see a person escaping from a maximum security prison in that way, yes she had help, but not enough to escape the way she did. everything else seemed believable.
Movie was rated R, I think it could have been PG-13, but can not recommend it for a family movie. depending on your family standards
I gave the movie 8 on IMDB
I did not see the movie on the big screen, but I did buy it on DVD, may upgrade to Blue Ray
