uritbon Review of Little Girl Fly Away

Little Girl Fly Away (1998 TV Movie)

Does not have cinematic value, but tells a great story as it is

[6/10 · 30 June 2012]

This movie tells the tale of a repressed childhood of neglect and sexual exploitation with great humility. It does not try to do more than unfold the events that took place to a real person (as claimed): A woman leading a seemingly normal life starts losing her grip on reality and contacting a the long lost personality of herself as a little girl by writing herself poems with threats, and is later stabbed by an imagined man who is the man who sexually assaulted her as a child. Through the police investigation she is confronted with the realization that she is the one mailing the threats to herself and harming herself. Later she acknowledges her past of sexual abuse through grinding psychological treatment and comes to peace with herself.
