The true stories would have been better than this fictional movie

Rating: 4/10 (5 September 2016)

With all the real life stories about women who have been abducted and kept prisoner in basement Ariel Castro etc why did they need to make a fictional movie about this topic? The true stories are more compelling. It's a depressing story that is slightly relieved when they are rescued.
Brie Larson is competent at acting scared and sad but her performance is limited to these emotions. It was not an Oscar worthy performance, why she won over some better actresses is one of the mistakes of last year's Oscars. The little boy Jacob Tremblay is alright but there isn't that much that he can do.
After the voyeur in us is satisfied by watching these horrible situations it's just a rather depressing movie.
