"This story was such a mess. A captivating mess. "

"This movie is unbelievably tragic. Sometimes you can want something to be true so badly you will believe it but I also blame authorities who tell family members that time has passed & their loved one will look different. It does greatly influence things. It reminds me of the book “Mistaken Identity: Two Families, One Survivor, Unwavering Hope” about the misidentification of the 2 girls from the Taylor university crash in Indiana, 1 dead, 1 alive. They told the wrong family their daughter was alive but because of severe head trauma she’d look nothing like their daughter & would be confused. Every time they noticed things that made them question her identity, they reminded themselves of that. It’s amazing how susceptible our mind is to suggestion or explanation."
