Well-acted, but incomplete

Rating: 5/10 (13 May 2017)

This is a drama film about a mother and five-year-old son who are held prisoner in their captor's shed. The child escapes and the mother is rescued. Then we see them reunited with their family.
The acting is good.
The huge deficiency of the film is that it starts towards the end of the victims' false imprisonment. They've been there for all of the son's life - and the mother has been there for two years previous to that, since being kidnapped. We don't see any of those years, the kidnapping, or any of the mother's life before she was kidnapped. We see very little of the captor.
It's not believable that the captor would believe the story that the mother uses to allow the son to escape.
The poster - showing the mother and son smiling at each other - misled us into believing that it's a feel-good film. Being left with PTSD and your rapist-kidnapper-captor's child isn't a happy ending.
