A good movie about mental facility the only problem is there is a spoiler in description above 😒

7, because Christina Ricci Judith Light Nellie "Bly" When Lifetime does a movie, we know a lot about what it will be like. Lifetime movies are their own genre. I haven't watched one for probably 30 years because: vcrs, dvds, real cable, streaming. Almost didn't watch this, but Ricci & Light were a draw for me. It's a passable movie, decent sets etc. Categorised under Horror/Thriller, I was surprised to find it a Based On. Don't expect Eli Roth level scares, although it's a truly horrifying fact that women were treated like this. The movie is generalities & smoothed edges. Best about it was discovering the real story, of which I was totally ignorant. If this was complete fiction, it would be a 5 for me. A watchable movie for a day you need good actresses, decent sets, & a story you can glide in & out of. If it piques your interest, read her actual story!

I find this film has a very dark look, it is graphic though the plot is very slow in it's delivery, not a film to watch if you are tired as falling asleep would be easy. Lifetime picked a bad script and came up a loser with this story.

Enjoyed the movie and acting very much! Haven't seen a film like this in a long time. Great acting and truly moving

Exceptional chronicle of Nellie Bly. It's not a documentary but an interesting display of her exploits in the mad house and the deportable condition that "mental" patients had to endure during those times in history. The movie is true to the times of Blackmore Island. To light the deployable conditions of the times and a courageous woman's investigative reporting. It self an amazing great of the times. I found the movie well done and very gripping. Cristina Ricci does a good job portraying Nellie Bly. I haven't seen Judith Light since "Who's the Boss" but she plays an evil administrator very well. Over all a movie worthy of your time.
