Enjoyed the movie. To all the ladies out there who are in abusive relationships dont wait for someone to tell you to get out of that relationship or wait for something bad to happen. Run with your life as fast as you can
Totally agree it took me 10 yrs to get away and the garda in Ireland done nothing to help but I'm free the only problem is he is living 4 doors away and I can't afford to move again. Ladies don't wait go at the first chance
I’ve experienced something similar, but the thing is knowing the red flags in the beginning and having the courage to end the relationship and allow yourself to get emotionally involved. Don’t ignore the red flags thinking you can change him, he is who he is .
I really hope that every abused woman will have a chance to watch this movie. Ots so brilliant and i can tell bc ive been in that kind of relationship that has exact stages. Manipulations, violence, gaslighting, superficial love bombing words and so on... Its so sad and make woman to feel like she cant leave without him and feel guilty. God help all abused woman to leave that kind of man!
I was in an abusive relationship like 7 years ago 😊and later got married to a narcissist and mental abuser 3 years ago ended that nonsense marriage this year in January on my birthday 😅now I’m scared of relationships
the lovebombing is the worst...and then making you feel guilty for wanting your own space...and also wanting something back because " you owe him cause he is a really nice guy"
To all of us women that stay in horrible abusive relationships. We need to ask our selfs if the money, the house and all nice things are worth all the pain.
Not everyone stays for money, or nice things. Many women are scared or do not have an exit plan. Remember, a lot of mental conditioning goes into abuse. It's proven that it changes the brain 🥺
Wow, this hit home. My first husband was this. Two times physical abuse, the rest, the subtle put downs, me losing my self, and giving up everything. I was an artist too.
@@nombinintlahla8325 yes I healed almost two years. I am happy, stress free, peace and mentally healthy. I left one of the best decision in my life. I never thought about me. It was time for once I think about me. I never did in life.thank you for your car. May god bless you and heal any pain in your heart.
I recognized so many things about my father in that character. Fortunately, there was no physical abuse in my family, but constant emotional and psychological abuse. A total narcissist, even to his dying day as a birthday gift to me, he left me a box of memorabilia - all photos of himself. It's incredible that someone can only see the world from their own point of view and that they are the one who matters. And the lines about, 'You are so stupid', and 'No one else would ever want you' is how he trapped my mother into marrying him.
I know right, my dad was the most violent person I ever knew, and I went through alot of physical abuse, at a very young age , he also abused my mom, she was deadly afraid of him, it wasn't easy, blessings
I came from a dysfunctional family too; I can relate. Sorry, hope the rest of your is better.❤pray. Re the movie. That guy is a prefect one to DUMP. She needed to get some courage and hav mor self esteem/confidence.
Nice movie, True love does not hurt anyone, loving someone by giving pain is not love, the heroine's decision to leave her husband was right to live a happy life.
I watch these to never ever forget :/ the abuse is real, the madness these individuals bring to your life is absolutely unbelievable but it’s REAL and valid and unforgettable
@@flowerjpotter1629 - thank you, I have one family member who is still abusive. As long as I keep a distance , I’m ok. For the rest, I haven’t been able to find the proper therapist, so I research a lot on my own, and read . Overall, I’m safe, and slowly healing. I appreciate your encouragement 💕
The actor playing the part of Matt Walsh so expertly portrayed a narcissistic abuser that it's eerie. The mind games, subtle or overt put downs in his speech about his "wife", his grandiosity, etc are too much like the real thing. And Josie Davis realistically played a woman trying to appease him in every way to keep from being abused & potentially k*lled, while stuffing down her real feelings and planning a secret escape. Here's to all of us who got away and are free, living better lives today!
You're so right. I'm still in the first (opening) scene, and I can easily intuit that he is a sociopath or, worse, a psychopath. The passive-aggressive verbal cruelty is highly disturbing. Ugh. So glad you made it and are free!
A narcissistic role as Mike Walsh was owned too well..In an abusive relationship where he devalued his wife as he did..He might not plan to kill her but there could be a point that his anger could cause him to do something he never planned to do..Prayers for good doors to open for anyone in an abusive relationship 🙏
Although the storyline is heavily plagiarised from that old movie with Julia Roberts, there can't be enough movies about the dangers of getting yourself into a relationship with a sociopath. Thumbs up!
Yes, I thought the same thing, that it was very much like the Julia Roberts movie of the abused wife who disappeared to get away from her abusive architect husband.
I agree .... movies like "Sleeping with the Enemy", "Cries for Help", & "Enough," are a just a few abusive movies where the wife is brutingly battered every day. 😢 . ..
This is what you become when you turn yourself to a perfectionist expecting everything and everyone to be perfect forget that nothing can ever be perfect... Very good movie the lead actress never disappoints she sure do knows how to play every roles
But once she managed to escape from that abusive husband she should have changed her appearance.. Cut hair short and change its color, or wear glasses to cover her eyes, do different fashion..
@@timosaksala4797Yes it does it teaches people what living with a Malignant Narcissist who subjects their partner's to Narcissistic Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Verbal Domestic Abuse is like.. As well as encouraging their victims to leave and run away of course it's more difficult if you have children with your abuser..

Getting out of My abusive relationship was the hardest thing I've ever done in My life. I couldn't even go outside for fear he was going to be there. Everytime I heard a loud truck I would freeze in place and a couple of times I actually peed Myself. It's very difficult.
It is very difficult…I hope you heal soon and possibly find peace and privacy that your body and mind need to heal. Have you read Peter Levine or heard of Tim Fletcher? Both (along with many others) provided me with insights that are slowly allowing me to pull myself out of the hole. Still, I too freeze at the sound of my ex’s truck passing (he’s a neighbor, never date a neighbor as you prob know), but slowly but surely some aspects are becoming better. I’m surprised how incredibly hard it was and still is, like you said, it’s difficult. Will we ever feel or be normal? At least we’re safe right now, I wish I could hug you if you wanted one you or make you laugh so hard you pee from that-the opposite of being frightened:) I’m so proud of you for getting out, you are stronger than you may know. Sorry about the long comment, your truck reference really spoke to me!
@@Greenpeppersandeggs Thank you for you support it means alot to me. Everyday is a struggle but, by the Grace of God I'm getting better. I've not heard of Tim Fletcher but I will look him up. I would gladly except your hug 🤗. I'm proud of you as well. It takes a strong woman to get out. I will say it's a battle but it is one that can be won. I hope you have a Blessed Day. And remember Never look back because you might miss what is right in front of you. If you ever need to talk I'm here just hit me up.
Thank God you were able to get out of it my mother wasn't so lucky my father killed her he hit her in head with axe my mother was only 22 yrs old,you are in my prayers 🙏
@@saracaruso5148 I'm so very sorry. I won't lie there were a few times I wasn't sure I was going to make it out. I guess the that I rested a double barrel shotgun on the bridge of his nose and told him if he as much as flinched he was a dead man was the day I got control. And the day I left was the day I won. And when he passed away years later from cancer I was free.
watched n a very good film this is the first person outa lots whose uploaded a film with the correct title big thanku who uploaded it everyone seens to put any title to films its nice that i have fount one honest person thanku n peeps really great film brilliant actors
I'm in the middle of working on my third book, which is about a man who is like this character. It's meant to warn women of the early signs they will experience with a man like this and to let them know that this is not a man you want to have anything to do with. I have notes going back years of each event and crazy conversation we had. Not only is this man extremely fussy about the tiniest speck of dirt, he has rules which he changes so that it is impossible to keep up with them - guaranteeing my constant failure. He remembers every mistake I ever made going back years, but never anything I did that was good . The constant badgering about dumb little things, over and over again, eventually becomes soul crushing. This type of man will never acknowledge that their partner has talent and will never acknowledge their accomplishments. It will never get better because this type of man is a miserable specimen and deals only in negativity. You can never win any argument with logic, because he isn't interested in anything you have to say and will cut you off or talk over you. You will constantly hear how you don't listen to him and that if you did listen your life would be better. My advice - take nothing, just run away as fast as possible.
I wanted write a book my mother lived in that kind of world n once she got nerve up to say I'm leaving n he killed her by hitting her in head with axe, n that's just the beginning of this story,I hope I can figure out how to write it well like you did n than find someone to read it,to see how real life is
Excellent movie about psycho violence, abussive relationships, post trauma stress, and the mistaken path to solve the situation. You must seek professional advice, talk about the problem, understand the violence circle, and work with yourself to overcome it. You are far from safety if you just run away and do not face the problem. Regards from UY
Loved every bits of it, moral lesson to all ladies, please don’t get mesmerized by a man’s materialistic life, money and all his luxurious life. Respect, love, care and loyalty are the key components of marriage, look for that in a man and the rest shall follow otherwise if he got none run as far as your feet can take you.
Thanks for telling me about the good ending. I was about to stop watching as I need comfort more than cruelty and this guy gives me the creeps. The way that the woman obeys him is anything but pleasant to watch. (I know that that's how it goes. It sneaks up on you.)
Me too, I read about abusive men in thd comments. My first husband was abusive and my medical doctor advised me to divorce. Love and greetings from Germany.
Please 🙏 women 🙏, don't give much time to an abusive relationship, no matter how much you love the guy, just let go and pray to move on, life is more precious than the so called lover
Which is why both men and women need to learn the dating game before hand and choose the people they let into their circle wisely at all times. No way around it🙏
You let them hit you once and this is where it goes. Stop them at the first slap, push or punch, even if you have to use a frying pan. Give them the message that you won't tolerate it! It starts small and if they get away with it, it will escalate. It never stops unless you put your foot down or leave. I told mine in the beginning if he ever hit me that I had a good pair of sharp scissors and he had to sleep sometime. He knew I meantbit. We never had a problem.😍😍
There's a good movie you can find on here called "No One Would Tell" staring Candance Cameron of Full House fame. Very good lesson. Should check it out.
NARCISSISTIC LOVE ----->> comes in MANY shades of BRUISING. Long sleeves DID NOT HIDE my emotional pain. Make~up DID NOT HIDE my Monster's fisted wrath. I dreaded hearing the birds chirp .. each and every morning, for their song meant another 24 hours of living in my misery. I finally found the strength to GET OUT. I could FEEL my internal bruises slowly healing and, the birds' chirps have never sounded *SO SWEET.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Blessings to those who still need our prayers. *YOU TOO* .. are WORTH loving!
Never say never!!!!! Don’t judge unless you have been there. It happens to the BEST of us! Narcs are very sly snakes!!!! You don’t even realize what’s happening until you are deep into the middle of it!!!!!
I’m glad I’m learning to detach from the person I thought I loved and thought loved me. Please get out of these toxic relationships before it’s too late!
Except the actors are 10000% better in this movie. Josie Davis and whoever this actor who plays the husband, deserved to play the lead roles in Sleeping w the Enemy. Except i actually like this movie script better ,too. This movie in its entirety, should have been the big budget production that Sleeping with the Enemy, was!
If a man is controlling , that is abuse. Anytime a man hits u, or gives u a shiner , it means he will do it again Never stay with a man, who trys to tell u what to do. I recognized the 3 lead actors in this movie. A good story, direction, and acting.
based on my own experience.. 4 year of toxic relationship, past 2 years of broken up, got some scar on my wrist, all of his abusive habit and stuff, thank God I've decided my best to leave him.. now on, wrist still has flaw, covers 'em with tattoo on.
This was well done! In her situation I would not have been interested in the boyfriend either. He’s too pushy and insistent, not listening to her wishes. That’s too reminiscent of what she just came from!
Thanks for pointing this out. This was me until recently. And u know what's worse, while you are like this you don't even realise how destructive it is until it destroys you, then you start to search for reasons why you keep meeting the same abuser just with a different face, colour and shape. And then you find freedom! Then you soar very high, but this time with not just boundaries... I mean, you put up a firewall to protect the new freedom and you stop being bothered about what others think of you or whether they like you. The new you is fierce!
I was emotionally abused by my mother! Took me years and lots of therapy to get over it. But I will say my experiances with narcissistic behavior with my mom taught me to recognize the signs of a narcissist and only 1 man in my life tried to control me but I ditched him quick!
Narcissist man are self absorbed and selfish, if they want something and can't have it they will abuse their spouse. Beat them up and apologize again and it all goes around in circle....
Oh my 7 mins in and im struggling to watch this movie. It's sad the abuse some women endure. This reminds me of Sleeping with the Enemy or Enough. Just to give an idea if you wanna watch a movie like that.
Narcissists are not far away from psychos.. although the person in the film is not a narcissist, he is a psychopath , narcissists won't be suffering from being left or not loved, neither they would put themselves into a danger by killing anyone for revenge (unless they have psychotic traits), their problem is that they are not able to feel love or empathy.. they would be simply looking for another victim, putting all the blame of separation on a previous victim, narcissists are not human beings, they are sub-humans as they can't feel or behave like us...one has to experience narcissistic abuse "on their own skin" to fully understand classic textbooks about narcissists
The new guy, when she leaves, is so persistent. In movies like this, Hollywood puts this out as cute and endearing. In real life, a guy like this is called a stalker and can't take no for an answer. And if he can't take no for an answer for a date, is he really going to take no for an answer when he wants sex? In movies it can be cute. In real life this is very scary.
That's an interesting point for a discussion. Where do you draw the line between a persistance that prooves that he is really interested, and stalking? I think, in this movie, he does the right thing. She isn't really scared of him, but traumatized by her experience with her ex-husband. When the new guy stays around, this gives her time to get used to the thought that there are gentle, kind men, too.
Though I'm a huge Josie Davies fan, this film has more holes than a Swiss cheese...... - If Shane could get away so easily on the forest trail why didn't she simply leave her abusive hubby when he was out at work??? - To add to her stupidity she leaves blatant clues in her house as to her whereabouts so that any idiot could find her - Then she stays at her cousin's cabin and goes to bed BEFORE locking the doors - Out of hundreds of acres of forest, her nutter of a husband finds the EXACT TREE that his wife hid in! - Then Meg goes to the bank AT NIGHT leaving the front door unlocked - Shane doesn't see her husband STANDING RIGHT OUTSIDE THE CAFE as she walks past him! But I have to say that David Millburn who played the nutter husband is absolutely brilliant in this. A film worth watching.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Omg... Finally, somebody said this. What felt off was her getting nice and acting normal with a stranger guy right away, once she reaches her cousin. Trauma that a victim gets after the abuse isn't portrayed properly. Moreover, Meg not closing the door on her way out astounded me big time. The chemistry between the two (new guy and Shane) didn't click with me, despite them being good actors.
Haven't gotten to the door business yet but as for the first couple of plot holes...I think she took the opportunity to run away in the forest because it would give her more time to run away, as in he would search for her, followed by other people searching for her, presumably, then her being declared dead...etc. If she just up and left he wouldn't think it was an accident. The clues she left around the house were prob just her subconscious will to go to a place where she knew somebody. Sure it shows her naivety and all that but I guess plenty of people are like that.
It all begins with, the words of I will hit you one of this days, then a slap, a blow n the entire body I watched my loving late Mum go thru it n my siblings helped her run away
Hard to watch, but well done. Hammers home a few realities. My wish is for every soul stuck in this cycle to get the hell out. Too often its too late. Never ever forget the children born into this. Too many things. Every situation is different and equally dangerous.. I got out, it took me a long time.. if i can do it. Everybody can.
I'm a non aggressive woman but my blood was boiling watching this horrendous bully abuse this young woman and then say, you made me do it, the really terrible thing is that there are women who suffer this kind of abuse , it's heartbreaking to think of it, God help them
this movie remembers me of sleeping with the enemy julia roberts. she trusted real soon another man. a good man. but a little bit strange so soon. but i like the movie. good actors.
The one thing I learned was to keep your enemy close! Know where they are and what mood they are in! I tried to get away and lived in constant fear and he found me states away! Law enforcement tried to help but it was a constant fear! He died of cancer and I am finally free from the fear, looking behind me and living in constant anxiety of him getting hold of me again!
There's 'no old school', no 'modern day' Abuse has been going on since time began, abuse toward man and woman. You'd think we'd have gotten over it by now! 😮
Really enjoyed this film. Looking up cast i was pleasantly surprised to see David Millbern was actually very good looking. He gave a good impression of somebody not.
the synopsis of this movie is sounds EXACTLY like sleeping with the enemy...while i was reading it i thought it was the Julia Roberts movie (sleeping with the enemy) and i thought i had clicked on the wrong moving because ive seen sleeping with the enemy 57 times (& i love it) but i was looking for something new to watch...so i had to look at the title again to assure myself of which movie i clicked on lmao..thats why i had to peek at the comments to see if anyone else noticed that this movies description is almost word for word of sleeping with the enemy....& to see if i was going crazy...so i hit up google & searched sleeping with the enemy & yup...i knew it...lmao...ANYWAY....im definitely going to watch this one because id love to see how this story line plays out...im sure its good since the comments tell me it is...sorry for the long comment....but i had to verify if im crazy or right cuz most of the time im wrong or a bit off course...lmfaoooooo
Enjoyed the movie. To all the ladies out there who are in abusive relationships dont wait for someone to tell you to get out of that relationship or wait for something bad to happen. Run with your life as fast as you can
and don't leave tracks behind you, skipping the City or even another Country would be wise!
Just get out, no matter what it takes.Dont even consider his/her feelings. They don't matter at all.
Totally agree it took me 10 yrs to get away and the garda in Ireland done nothing to help but I'm free the only problem is he is living 4 doors away and I can't afford to move again. Ladies don't wait go at the first chance

I started watching this but didn't finish it. Pissed...me off immediately
I’ve experienced something similar, but the thing is knowing the red flags in the beginning and having the courage to end the relationship and allow yourself to get emotionally involved. Don’t ignore the red flags thinking you can change him, he is who he is .

Thank God you were able to get out of it my mother wasn't so lucky my father killed her he hit her in head with axe my mother was only 22 yrs old,you are in my prayers 🙏
@@saracaruso5148 I'm so very sorry. I won't lie there were a few times I wasn't sure I was going to make it out. I guess the that I rested a double barrel shotgun on the bridge of his nose and told him if he as much as flinched he was a dead man was the day I got control. And the day I left was the day I won. And when he passed away years later from cancer I was free.
God bless you sister❤
watched n a very good film this is the first person outa lots whose uploaded a film with the correct title big thanku who uploaded it everyone seens to put any title to films its nice that i have fount one honest person thanku n peeps really great film brilliant actors
I'm in the middle of working on my third book, which is about a man who is like this character. It's meant to warn women of the early signs they will experience with a man like this and to let them know that this is not a man you want to have anything to do with. I have notes going back years of each event and crazy conversation we had. Not only is this man extremely fussy about the tiniest speck of dirt, he has rules which he changes so that it is impossible to keep up with them - guaranteeing my constant failure. He remembers every mistake I ever made going back years, but never anything I did that was good . The constant badgering about dumb little things, over and over again, eventually becomes soul crushing. This type of man will never acknowledge that their partner has talent and will never acknowledge their accomplishments. It will never get better because this type of man is a miserable specimen and deals only in negativity. You can never win any argument with logic, because he isn't interested in anything you have to say and will cut you off or talk over you. You will constantly hear how you don't listen to him and that if you did listen your life would be better. My advice - take nothing, just run away as fast as possible.
I wanted write a book my mother lived in that kind of world n once she got nerve up to say I'm leaving n he killed her by hitting her in head with axe, n that's just the beginning of this story,I hope I can figure out how to write it well like you did n than find someone to read it,to see how real life is
The actress is superb loved her from Uganda east of Africa ❤
Excellent movie about psycho violence, abussive relationships, post trauma stress, and the mistaken path to solve the situation. You must seek professional advice, talk about the problem, understand the violence circle, and work with yourself to overcome it. You are far from safety if you just run away and do not face the problem. Regards from UY
Oh I love Josie Davis. She such a beautiful actress
Loved every bits of it, moral lesson to all ladies, please don’t get mesmerized by a man’s materialistic life, money and all his luxurious life. Respect, love, care and loyalty are the key components of marriage, look for that in a man and the rest shall follow otherwise if he got none run as far as your feet can take you.
God gives us someone in times of our sorrow and loneliness.....I like this movie....I am so touched with the good ending....
Thanks for telling me about the good ending. I was about to stop watching as I need comfort more than cruelty and this guy gives me the creeps. The way that the woman obeys him is anything but pleasant to watch. (I know that that's how it goes. It sneaks up on you.)
Me too, I read about abusive men in thd comments. My first husband was abusive and my medical doctor advised me to divorce. Love and greetings from Germany.
حقا زوجك كان يفعل بيكي هذا
Josie Davis is perfection.
Please 🙏 women 🙏, don't give much time to an abusive relationship, no matter how much you love the guy, just let go and pray to move on, life is more precious than the so called lover
2 people hard type of women to advice is
1.A woman in love
2. A woman who believes in his pastor
Slap

There are many more narcissistic women than men nowadays. For men it's even harder, because they can't just talk about their problem to somebody.
Abusive! This is next level. This guy was certifiable.. a real psycho. You find them in men hating movies. 😆
Intresting movie. Thanks everyone . If your partner is abusive , you need to be very careful.
No one needs to stay in an abusive marriage in the name of husband! marriage is meant to be enjoyed not to traumatize!
-unfortunetly !-
Divorced.. best decision. I was traumatized
Are you good now?@@nalin8225
My goodness it's not a NEED to stay or a need that makes us stay ..
Which is why both men and women need to learn the dating game before hand and choose the people they let into their circle wisely at all times. No way around it🙏
You let them hit you once and this is where it goes. Stop them at the first slap, push or punch, even if you have to use a frying pan. Give them the message that you won't tolerate it! It starts small and if they get away with it, it will escalate. It never stops unless you put your foot down or leave.
I told mine in the beginning if he ever hit me that I had a good pair of sharp scissors and he had to sleep sometime. He knew I meantbit. We never had a problem.😍😍
Lol.. I did exactly the same but threatened him with a baseball bat.
Said exactly the same re - you have to sleep sometime
There's a good movie you can find on here called "No One Would Tell" staring Candance Cameron of Full House fame. Very good lesson. Should check it out.
@@margaretmeaker2830l t I to❤
Yep, the first punch I hit him over the head with my best lamp😂
The problem is they always choose fragile women, low self-esteem... Etc
Excellent film and super acting. Thanks so much.
People give information too freely to total strangers and can cause loads of damage
I left after 14 yrs and now live in my RV with my dog 🐕..i will NEVER be that miserable again..i must have said i HATE my life like 500 times..no more
I like it better when Josie plays the Psycho. Shes great at it.
Yeah
She's awesome playing either type of role. Massively talented!
NARCISSISTIC LOVE ----->> comes in MANY shades of BRUISING.
Long sleeves DID NOT HIDE my emotional pain.
Make~up DID NOT HIDE my Monster's fisted wrath. I dreaded hearing the birds chirp .. each and every morning, for their song meant another 24 hours of living in my misery. I finally found the strength to GET OUT. I could FEEL my internal bruises slowly healing and, the birds' chirps have never sounded *SO SWEET.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blessings to those who still need our prayers. *YOU TOO* .. are WORTH loving!
You should write a book because you have a unique way of storytelling your pain.
I like this actress she's One of the best I love her
Shane's skin is spotless & flawless and her new guy looks nice .
The skin is very important 😂
Awesome movie. Some men are the same all over the world .
That's why you have to be the most powerfull lady within yourself when it comes to money and all.😊😊😊😊
I agree with you
Exactly... will continue to work on myself till I get there
I don't think so, you just have to really get to know a person before you get with them.
Wow, I’m a few minutes into the movie and I don’t know if I will finish. The narcissism is horrible
JOSIE DAVIS IS EXCELLENT IN EVERY ROLE SHE PLAYS IN!!! LOVE HER TO PIECES!!
💯
I would never let a man have that kind of control and power over me. Women should ALWAYS be independent making there own MONEY.
Never say never!!!!! Don’t judge unless you have been there. It happens to the
BEST of us! Narcs are very sly snakes!!!! You don’t even realize what’s happening until you are deep into the middle of it!!!!!
الحياة الزوجية لست كذلك بس هي حياة كليها حب ومشاعر
@@melaidaziz5229in what world are you living in?? Plenty of “marriages” are exactly like that.
Money just makes it easier to leave.
I enjoyed the movie very much. Thank you for posting it.
I’m glad I’m learning to detach from the person I thought I loved and thought loved me. Please get out of these toxic relationships before it’s too late!
Excellent movie
I loved it from A to Z 🤗
This movie is very reminiscent of the movie Sleeping with the Enemy starring and Julia Robert.
Except the Husband in this version is more unhinged. He doesnt control his emotions the way the husband in the Julia Robert's movie did.
Except the actors are 10000% better in this movie. Josie Davis and whoever this actor who plays the husband, deserved to play the lead roles in Sleeping w the Enemy. Except i actually like this movie script better ,too. This movie in its entirety, should have been the big budget production that Sleeping with the Enemy, was!
If a man is controlling , that is abuse. Anytime a man hits u, or gives u a shiner , it means he will do it again Never stay with a man, who trys to tell u what to do. I recognized the 3 lead actors in this movie. A good story, direction, and acting.
Nice movie 😊 Love it ... true love wins at the end ❤
Great movie. Great acting. Very suspenseful.
-#cheers-- !-
Nice to Locklyn Monroe in a movie again , great actor , great movie 😊
based on my own experience.. 4 year of toxic relationship, past 2 years of broken up, got some scar on my wrist, all of his abusive habit and stuff, thank God I've decided my best to leave him.. now on, wrist still has flaw, covers 'em with tattoo on.
It must have been a traumatic experience xx
This was well done! In her situation I would not have been interested in the boyfriend either. He’s too pushy and insistent, not listening to her wishes. That’s too reminiscent of what she just came from!
Exactly. Awful...
Poor the young neighbor. He helped and was killed :(
Poor the neighbour and the cousin they helped and got murderef
Unfortunately as we have seen in Australia recently this happens way too often.
Love it great movie thanks RUclips for sharing remind me of sleeping with the enemy. Love the suspense watched it twice..
In such movies the victim always survives but people who helped her loose their lives.
Another extremely perfect example of why so many women around the world have decided to stay a single and child free.
He is one looney tune!!!! I would run for the hills 🤦🏽♀️
That's the type u take out first
Even after he beat the brakes off of her and she was in bed he had to harp on her about the neighbor 🤦♀️. What a sick man!
This was good, hate to say I have personal experience with an abusive ex-husband but I do.
Same here
هل الزوج يبحبك يفعل ذلك
Unfortunately, a lot of us do.
@@melaidaziz5229what?? Didn’t she say “abusive ex husband”?? So the answer is no and probably.
Excellent film highly recommend 10/10
She's too nice. Doesnt set boundaries. Low self esteem. Looks for others for + Stokes. Perfect for abuser narcissist
Thanks for pointing this out. This was me until recently. And u know what's worse, while you are like this you don't even realise how destructive it is until it destroys you, then you start to search for reasons why you keep meeting the same abuser just with a different face, colour and shape. And then you find freedom! Then you soar very high, but this time with not just boundaries... I mean, you put up a firewall to protect the new freedom and you stop being bothered about what others think of you or whether they like you. The new you is fierce!
I was emotionally abused by my mother! Took me years and lots of therapy to get over it. But I will say my experiances with narcissistic behavior with my mom taught me to recognize the signs of a narcissist and only 1 man in my life tried to control me but I ditched him quick!
So refreshing seeing Rosie Davis not playing the villain lol. But I still prefer the villain roles for her
EXCELLENT movie! It "kinda" mirror's Sleeping with the Enemy, but great acting too! The cousin reminds me of Kate Hudson! Thank you for sharing!
Not even 5 minutes into this movie, I’m already infuriated by all those uptight fake people! 😂
Not the victim her abusive husband and his snooty friend's yes I agree . The rest of the movie is snob free lol..
Narcissist man are self absorbed and selfish, if they want something and can't have it they will abuse their spouse. Beat them up and apologize again and it all goes around in circle....
Josie Davis looks absolutely gorgeous in this!!! Love her
She loves painting and dressing beautiful leave the women alone and stop judging her. ❤
He wasn’t simply “judging” her, he was also extremely demeaning. Nothing she did was right or good enough for him. He was a very miserable person.
Oh my 7 mins in and im struggling to watch this movie. It's sad the abuse some women endure. This reminds me of Sleeping with the Enemy or Enough. Just to give an idea if you wanna watch a movie like that.
A narcissist. The way they put you down and make you feel like nothing. One moment you're everything, the next you mean nothing
I'm 15 mins in and this dude went from narcissist to full blown pyscho real quick.
Narcissists are not far away from psychos.. although the person in the film is not a narcissist, he is a psychopath , narcissists won't be suffering from being left or not loved, neither they would put themselves into a danger by killing anyone for revenge (unless they have psychotic traits), their problem is that they are not able to feel love or empathy.. they would be simply looking for another victim, putting all the blame of separation on a previous victim, narcissists are not human beings, they are sub-humans as they can't feel or behave like us...one has to experience narcissistic abuse "on their own skin" to fully understand classic textbooks about narcissists
Yeah, what a prize jerk. He should run faster and slip in the forest and fall down the cliff...
The new guy, when she leaves, is so persistent. In movies like this, Hollywood puts this out as cute and endearing. In real life, a guy like this is called a stalker and can't take no for an answer. And if he can't take no for an answer for a date, is he really going to take no for an answer when he wants sex? In movies it can be cute. In real life this is very scary.
I find him really annoying and crossing the boundary. Always put the lady in uncomfortable spot
He's a creep. She just wants to be left alone and it shows
He’s a stalker
That's an interesting point for a discussion. Where do you draw the line between a persistance that prooves that he is really interested, and stalking?
I think, in this movie, he does the right thing. She isn't really scared of him, but traumatized by her experience with her ex-husband. When the new guy stays around, this gives her time to get used to the thought that there are gentle, kind men, too.
Very annoying
A hit man comes to mind. What a scary dude. Glad happy ending.
The part I was very sad was when Estelle was dead. It would not have happened if her best friend didn't leave the door open.
I love this beautiful story thanks for sharing
A very good movie with an important subject manner.
Very good movie I'm watching it again 👌
she played in another movie as a phycho.. love her
Though I'm a huge Josie Davies fan, this film has more holes than a Swiss cheese......
- If Shane could get away so easily on the forest trail why didn't she simply leave her abusive hubby when he was out at work???
- To add to her stupidity she leaves blatant clues in her house as to her whereabouts so that any idiot could find her
- Then she stays at her cousin's cabin and goes to bed BEFORE locking the doors
- Out of hundreds of acres of forest, her nutter of a husband finds the EXACT TREE that his wife hid in!
- Then Meg goes to the bank AT NIGHT leaving the front door unlocked
- Shane doesn't see her husband STANDING RIGHT OUTSIDE THE CAFE as she walks past him!
But I have to say that David Millburn who played the nutter husband is absolutely brilliant in this. A film worth watching.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Omg... Finally, somebody said this.
What felt off was her getting nice and acting normal with a stranger guy right away, once she reaches her cousin.
Trauma that a victim gets after the abuse isn't portrayed properly.
Moreover, Meg not closing the door on her way out astounded me big time.
The chemistry between the two (new guy and Shane) didn't click with me, despite them being good actors.
Haven't gotten to the door business yet but as for the first couple of plot holes...I think she took the opportunity to run away in the forest because it would give her more time to run away, as in he would search for her, followed by other people searching for her, presumably, then her being declared dead...etc. If she just up and left he wouldn't think it was an accident.
The clues she left around the house were prob just her subconscious will to go to a place where she knew somebody. Sure it shows her naivety and all that but I guess plenty of people are like that.
Great film, great acting, great dialogue, great story. Classic Hallmark. The actress reminds me of Nicole Kidman crossed with Jennifer Aniston.
'why do you make me do this' after getting abused, lack of ownership, and gas lighting, the classic narcissist
When you believe you have Mr.Right, turns out he's Mr.Wrong. Good movie, I the end love wins❤❤❤❤❤
It all begins with, the words of I will hit you one of this days, then a slap, a blow n the entire body I watched my loving late Mum go thru it n my siblings helped her run away
Hard to watch, but well done. Hammers home a few realities. My wish is for every soul stuck in this cycle to get the hell out. Too often its too late.
Never ever forget the children born into this. Too many things. Every situation is different and equally dangerous.. I got out, it took me a long time..
if i can do it. Everybody can.
Wow!Tres bon film! Merci pour le partage! 😢🐞🦋🌹
I'm a non aggressive woman but my blood was boiling watching this horrendous bully abuse this young woman and then say, you made me do it, the really terrible thing is that there are women who suffer this kind of abuse , it's heartbreaking to think of it, God help them
this movie remembers me of sleeping with the enemy julia roberts. she trusted real soon another man. a good man. but a little bit strange so soon. but i like the movie. good actors.
The one thing I learned was to keep your enemy close! Know where they are and what mood they are in! I tried to get away and lived in constant fear and he found me states away! Law enforcement tried to help but it was a constant fear! He died of cancer and I am finally free from the fear, looking behind me and living in constant anxiety of him getting hold of me again!
There's 'no old school', no 'modern day' Abuse has been going on since time began, abuse toward man and woman. You'd think we'd have gotten over it by now! 😮
Really enjoyed this film. Looking up cast i was pleasantly surprised to see David Millbern was actually very good looking. He gave a good impression of somebody not.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful movie 🎬
A great movie, thank you for sharing ❤
I loved this Actress...🥰
She also main actress of Dirty Teacher (2013) her name is Josie Davis
Love is suppose to be a beautiful tin
Everyone deserves happiness
the synopsis of this movie is sounds EXACTLY like sleeping with the enemy...while i was reading it i thought it was the Julia Roberts movie (sleeping with the enemy) and i thought i had clicked on the wrong moving because ive seen sleeping with the enemy 57 times (& i love it) but i was looking for something new to watch...so i had to look at the title again to assure myself of which movie i clicked on lmao..thats why i had to peek at the comments to see if anyone else noticed that this movies description is almost word for word of sleeping with the enemy....& to see if i was going crazy...so i hit up google & searched sleeping with the enemy & yup...i knew it...lmao...ANYWAY....im definitely going to watch this one because id love to see how this story line plays out...im sure its good since the comments tell me it is...sorry for the long comment....but i had to verify if im crazy or right cuz most of the time im wrong or a bit off course...lmfaoooooo
Mhh
thank god she left him nice movie. all the actors played their roles verry well.
Josie acts so well 🤗
انتي إنسانة جملية وذكية واكيد زوجك يحبك
Luv this lady, each n every role suits her ❤️
