The Moorside (2017)

Disappointing
10 September 2022
I wanted to like this. I am a big fan of British TV but even with subtitles on, the accents made this unintelligible to anyone outside of that area of Britain. Then there is the odd telling of this movie which leaves more questions than answers. The crime it's self is minimized. The victim is minimized. We never hear from her. How did this happen? How did this impact her? That's what really matters.

This is all about the community and how the community handled a child abduction.

I've never seen a story told from that point of view. Do I really care? No. Would I want a. Susan Smith story told solely by the neighbors? No.

I found the entire thing wanting.
