Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Develiker terrible... so disappointed.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

iowastate-1 This turned a boring book about the Amish into an even more insipid movie of the week but then on Lifetime we have learned from experience to not expect much from their movies and in this case that is just what we get.A dull and predictable walk through the byways of an Amish baby murder.special guest Mariska Hargitay is no more inspiring here than on her insipid Lack of Law and Order show but she is still the high lite of an other wise boring film.the plot is a mess and the story line totally unbelievable however that is nothing unusual for Television movie of the week fare.like most LF TVM it will show up from time to time as a late night or early morning movie and is at least better than watching an infomercial or the shopping channel

SnoopyStyle Defense attorney Ellie Harrison (Mariska Hargitay) just got a big win but she's conflicted about getting a white collar criminal off the hook. On an Amish farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, a dead baby is found and unmarried Katie Fitch (Alison Pill) is arrested for killing the baby. Katie refuses to acknowledge her pregnancy no matter what. Ellie is pushed to defend by Katie's mother's cousin Leda who's been shunned. The judge orders that Katie could go home as long as Ellie is there as her guardian. Katie talks to her dead sister. Her father is exceedingly tough.I really like Mariska Hargitay and Alison Pill. They are doing perfectly good work here. It's a Lifetime movie filmed in Nova Scotia. That's probably its main drawback. The production lacks a cinematic style. Paul Shapiro is a TV director and this looks like a slightly below average TV show. I think the movie could have done a lot more with the style. As for the story, Ellie should be concerned with trying to get Katie off rather than worrying about the truth so much. Also the trial drags on for too long. It doesn't have enough drama. There is a shocking twist which would be so much more useful as part of the trial. It's not the most compelling TV movie.

dixietrixie We watched this movie because of Mariska Hagertay! The story seemed interesting and a different vehicle for Mrs. Hagertay. So we gave it a try (from beginning to end). But, though entertaining, some research could have been made about the Old Order Amish people & its history before coming out with this movie. The attorney (Mariska) stated during defense arguments, that there had NEVER been a murder within the Amish community EVER. That's not true! In Pennsylvania in March 1993, Ed Gingerish gruesomely killed his wife Katie (crime library). This is a must read for anyone wanting to learn a bit more about the Amish ways. In the movie, the young lady who's baby died, wears a white covering cap. Only married women wear white caps, single Amish girls wear black covering caps. Movies can be delightful fiction but when pretentiously coming out with statements, they should be researched.

Jenna (hayden-panettiere-ukfan) This might be a slightly biased review, but I have only watched half an hour of this movie, and I've had to turn it off in disgust. They might as well have called it an original movie, because they had nothing of Picoult's original novel in it, not even most of the characters names. For starters, the baby was found in a barn, not in a bunch of reeds, and Sarah and Leda are SISTERS, not cousins. Not to mention the Katie's surname is Fisher, and not Filch. I would understand if some names had to be changed to protect people, but these characters all came from Picoult's imagination. I am absolutely disgusted with their supposed 'interpretation'.The only redeeming feature I could find in this film was the acting by Alison Pill. Looking at her face shape, she is exactly how I imagined Katie to look.Fans of the book, I would not recommend you watching this movie. 1/10.
