Everyone knows the Miranda Rights, but I had never heard the actual story of how they came to be before watching this movie. The writing is very well done, pulling from mysteries, crime procedurals, and courtroom dramas to keep you on your toes and in the moment. The acting is phenomenal, as you could guess from the cast list. Abigail Breslin and Sebastian Quinn absolutely deserve nominations for their performances.
In the past, I've started steering clear of movies around assault because it's so often depicted in a glorified or exploitative way. Miranda's Victim was not the case at all. The sensitive subject matter is handled with such care and dignity, and the real-life survivor the movie is based on was involved throughout the process, which speaks volumes.
Top if off with a phenomenal directorial vision, beautiful cinematography, and a passionate team that really truly cares about telling this story, and you have a great film start to finish. They actually stayed so close to real life that a lot of the lines are pulled straight from evidence files and court documents, yet the ending is poignant and satisfying. I can't say enough. Absolutely take the time to watch it -- you won't be disappointed.
