Movie Reviews of If Someone Had Known
Movie Review: THE DAUGHTER WAS NOT THE ONLY ABUSE VICTIM
Summary: 5 Stars
After enjoying watching Kellie Martin on Life Goes On, it was interesting to see her in movies shown on Lifetime. In this one, she is a young wife married to a husband who slowly entangles her in a life of abuse with no end in sight. It was rough seeing how he treated her when she came home from the hospital after giving birth to their child, expecting her to handle the baby and luggage and hitting her when she asked for his help. The movie also helps us understand her wanting to keep it a secret by watching how her father treats his wife, as though she had no intelligence or anything to say that was important enough for him to listen to. Katie saw this as she was growing up, and left her vulnerable to her sadistic husband. In the end, she confronts her father and makes him see how he has been treating his wife, and we hope in the future he begins to change his attitude, and start looking on her as his wife and partner, rather than a dummy. I taped this off Lifetime, and look forward to getting it on DVD now that it has been released on that format. And just to let those reading this know I know not all victims are women, I also enjoyed Men Don't Tell, a movie about a husband dealing with an abusive wife. Abuse to any spouse no matter which gender is a tragedy.
