Bravo for going into the past, Lifetime.

This expose of dreadful conditions in a lunatic asylum conditions in 19th Century New York is well acted and partly fascinating. Kudos to Lifetime for going into historical territory - lots of good stories to be told.

Judith Light is memorable as the evil woman in charge. Josh Bowman plays a good doctor trying to better their conditions. He looks right in 19th C garb. The main character is played by Christina Ricci and her strange face is suitable for the eerie setting.

If things seem to be getting monotonous there is an unforeseeable twist and the ending is interesting.
