Stellar performances. Ellen Page is extraordinary as always.

Heart-wrenching true story of torture and murder of a teenage girl in the mid 1960s. They say it's the worst ever known to the state of Indiana.

Group dynamics are both astonishing and disturbing. It's amazing how easily people are influenced, and how weak-willed the human mind can become when put into a group setting. We begin to separate individual from the collective, and transfer responsibility from ourselves, placing it onto the group. I suppose this justification removes guilt.

I still don't get it.

I don't get how a person can be so desensitized to violence and suffering. So flat.

Nope. I don't get it.
