So, I didn't get much out of it at all. I guess being a parent with kids helps you to feel the emotional tugs of a kidnapped daughter and her captive "love child".
The first half of the film drills us wit the tedium of being locked up in a small room with a growing boy that has just turned five. Finally, an escape was made by the child (playing dead) which lead to the quick recovery of his mom. The second half is about the readjustment and coping with freedom.
Sorry to say it, but I don't see Oscars here. May be this is single mom's year for the Academy. We had slave movies two years ago, washed up actors last year, and I guess it's time for the struggling single mom fighting to stay sane.
I know there is a lot of commotion about this picture but not having a dog in this hunt just nulls any heartfelt admiration for the subject.
Sense there are some people here with hearts---you should probably see it.

But as to your opinion, I pretty much agree.
I think that if I saw this completely cold, not knowing anything about it, there might have been a horror in figuring out what was happening. But since I did know they were locked in a room (every single review tells you that), it was just kind of tedious for a long time, horrific as it was.
Not bad, but of the listed nominees for Oscar best picture, this would be the bottom of my personal list. There were touching moments, of course, and I respect the job the actors had to do. But it didn't do all that much for me.

I thought this was somewhat of a cliche plot based on the recent accounts of similar occurrences happening the past few years.
William H Macy's appearance left me wanting more....
couldn't resist. ;-)
I should be forced to watch The View for a month, I guess.
