Review of Accused

Accused (2014)
3/10
Fictitious account of the real case
25 January 2022
I don't understand why this movie is getting such high ratings.

Most stories based on real facts include some fictitious characters and events. However, in this case, there's more fiction than facts.

The invented young prosecution assistant played by Sallie Harmsen is an absolute fiasco. Her supposed "heroism" is out of touch with reality. In addition, Sallie gives such a wooden performance that it is painful to watch.

It's hard to understand why the creators of this flop omitted the fact that Celia de Berk received solid monetary compensation from the Dutch government.

It's a great real story that resulted in a lost opportunity.
