I didn't see it so I Googled it.  Apparently it was a cable TV release and it didn't make it to the theaters.  Critics said it was a very disturbing movie reportedly based upon a real-life incident in the 60's in Indiana.

Not something I'm going to watch.



An American Crime is a 2007 crime-drama film based on the true story of the torture and murder of Sylvia Likens by Indianapolis housewife Gertrude Baniszewski. It premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival to controversy amongst the critics, most of whom, nonetheless, lauded the daring performances of Catherine Keener (who earned an Emmy and Golden Globe nomination for her portrayal) and, especially, Ellen Page.[1] Because of internal problems with the film's original distributor, First Look, the film was headed to the straight-to-DVD market, but Showtime stepped in and officially premiered the film on May 10, 2008.[2] The film was recently nominated for a Writer's Guild Award.
