I remember watching this on tv several times in the 80's as a young girl just a few years younger than the character of Lizzie. I also lived in WA, so I have always found this grim and realistic to watch.
Rewatched for the first time as an adult now in my 40's - I still find this a powerful and important film. It's obviously dated, but it is just perfect honestly.
Once again I found myself near tears over Lizzie's fate and so angry that things like that can and do happen. I hope not to that extent in this day and age.
