Review: HEARTBREAKING STORY - CLEVELAND ABDUCTION This Lifetime made for TV movie is based on the real life abductions of Michelle Knight [whose book this film is based on to be exact], Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesus. This story is heartbreaking and just seeing this movie makes you feel sick knowing that it actually happened. I remember when they were rescued as it was all over the news so I was really interested when thus movie was announced. I was not disappointed at all and even bough the DVD. The movie follows Michelle Knight as she is having problems finding a job and trying to get her son back from CPS. It is on her why to court about that situation when she accepts a ride from Ariel Castro. That led to her 10 to 11 year captivity at Ariel's hands, though sadly two other girls would soon join her. Amanda and Gina would soon be kidnapped by Ariel as well with all three women serving as his slaves, with two becoming pregnant. Amanda was allowed to keep hers while Ariel did not want to father one with Michelle, extremely sad. These girls would grow up together with the two younger ones leaning a little more on Michelle. They would eventually be rescued as neighbors heard them yelling for help at the front door after Ariel had accidently left it semi open. The full story is absolutely heartbreaking and I do recommend reading the books about this case including Michelle's as this film was based on her book. Ariel would be convicted on multiple charges and would kill himself a month into his sentence. Michelle would keep herself alive to one day see her son again, that ending is possibly the most sad thing about her story. The film was directed by Alex Kalymnios who has directed a lot of TV, I think she should get a shot at a theatrical film. The book was adapted by Stephen Tolkin who has written a lot of TV himself including a show I loved called "Legend of The Seeker". Now while both of those people did a great job I really want to praise the acting here. Taryn Manning is excellent as Michelle, she really deserved an award for this film. Most people know her for "Orange is The New Black" in which she was my favorite thing about that show. Here she really showcases her skills going from victim to motherly shoulder to survivor. Also Raymond Cruz is superb as Ariel giving a very villainous performance including moments that showcases this guy thinking he is doing these girls a favor, like giving them a TV. The other two girls and the officer who works with Michelle after the rescue are excellent as well. But the first half of the film is dominated by Taryn and Raymond as she was the first victim, and also based on her book. Sadly only so much of the story can be told within a made for TV movie, but all the major points were hit and done very well. Highly recommended. Review: Heartbreaking but good - Such a good movie, but at the same time so heart breaking and I feel for the victims. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B011EK2HNC | | Actors | Joe Morton, Pam Grier, Samantha Droke, Taryn Manning | | Aspect Ratio | 1.33:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #72,167 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #11,360 in Drama DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (5,201) | | Director | Alex Kalymnios | | Dubbed: | French | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 46222 | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | NTSC, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | David Rosemont | | Product Dimensions | 0.5 x 5.35 x 7.5 inches; 2.12 ounces | | Release date | August 11, 2015 | | Run time | 1 hour and 27 minutes | | Studio | SPE | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Alex Kalymnios, David Rosemont, Joe Morton, Pam Grier, Samantha Droke, Taryn Manning - **Format:** NTSC, Subtitled - **Genre:** Documentary/Biography, Drama - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 27 minutes ## Images ![Cleveland Abduction - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/912AK9EeC5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HEARTBREAKING STORY *by F***X on May 20, 2022* CLEVELAND ABDUCTION This Lifetime made for TV movie is based on the real life abductions of Michelle Knight [whose book this film is based on to be exact], Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesus.
