There are some movies where the less you know about the story, before going in, the better. With this movie, the opposite is true.
Apparently this is based on real events, with what amounts to a true-crime story. If I had actually known about the Baekeland family before seeing this, it would have played better. Alas, never heard of them.
So, this is a decade-spanning period piece about a rich family doing rich-people things. All pretty boring. We have a mother (Barbara), a father, and their son (Tony). While Barbara really is the driving force here, this is truly about Tony.
Savage Grace is slow, but interesting... up until midway, where it began to wear on me. The third act is where any due infamy spawns. I say "due," but nothing here was very shocking.
Ultimately a long walk to nowhere.
This movie is really bad. I think it's because it doesn't represent the real story correctly.
what the hell my eyes just watched,this is the most terrible movie i have ever seen.

Based on a true story, this movie is about a family that has lots of serious mental issues. I did not like it.

Everything about the making of this film is beautiful. I must say though once will be enough for me. It was very disturbing and sad especially since it is true. It is a lot to take in. This is very warped. Great movie but too much for me.
