The Tall Man (2012)
1/10
Cannot believe the 'high' ratings for this 'film'

Warning: Spoilers
Executive Summary: So, this film would 'almost' have you believing that some children, we are not sure who, are better off being killed by some self-appointed care giver than struggling through life with their own parents.

Film starts off with Jessica Biel's character being the most caring and loving person you could ever imagine. Then the film does a switcheroo, and we discover something quite differently.

OK, so the town has lost its industry -- a mine -- and nearly everyone we see is living in trailers and trailer parks. OK, very sad. Then we see husbands & wives arguing -- but this film goes a step further -- attempting to con the viewer into thinking having their children kidnapped (and then murdered) -- is somehow better for them. (This is really sick!)

Oh, sure, the woman is finally caught and a death sentence is expected. This story goes that this woman kidnaps these children, plays music for them, loves them, and then kills them because she cannot care for all of them - and, according to her, neither can the parents.

I cannot help but wonder if this film is loath-fully anti-family; and is trying to half-heartedly support what is happening in our society today (2023) with migrant or kidnapped children?

Watch this silly film and decide for yourself! Me? I'd rather support & encourage a struggling family shown persevering and making it through life's trials & tribulations than this film!
