Not the easiest film to digest, but knowing it's a true story makes it worth the watch. So many woman have gone through similar stories of abuse, this film hides nothing as it shows you the full extant of the abuse. It clearly shows the story of Francine Hughes, how the toxic relationship with her husband slowly turned her into a battered wife. The movie did a great job explaining the story of what happened and leaving you with a good eye opener at what it must be like for woman who are, or have been abused by their husbands. In those days the law refused to get involved, but even today, we have issues like this in our society. Farrah Fawceet did a great job acting out her role making you truly feel for her. The filming is older and fuzzy, but in no wise would I call this a lower budget movie. If this is the kind of film that interests you then defiantly worth the watch.
