The devestation I feel for this family is immense. Poor little Zachary was not protected by the authorities and Shirley Turner allowed to kill again. To lose their dear son Andrew was hard enough but what a true blessing to have Zachary – an absolute miracle. To have parents like Mr. and Mrs. Bagley is a true blessing also.

I honour Andrew a lovely man, friend and son; I honour Zachary a darling little boy with so much promise and I truly honour Kate and David for staying amazing with all the sadness they had to endure. I also truly honour Kurt for bringing this story to my attention.

Forgive me for calling you Kate and David as I do not know you but will never ever forget you and how lovely, brave and perfect you both are. May the rest of your lives be filled with happiness and love, which I know you will get readily from so many people.

With loving regardes to you both.

Kurt did an outstanding job putting this piece together.

I just finished watching it, it’s already on broadcast television. I started reading this review, but after the first paragraph I figured, ‘Ok, whatever. I’m out of here.’ Then I saw in on the TV Guide list and I thought, ‘Huh, I’d like to see what it’s about.’ I can’t even describe the experience. About three quarters of the way through I wanted to quit watching, but I made myself keep going. I felt as if Kuenne was daring me to look away. Thank you for the review, but especially for the first paragraph, and the recommendation to not read the review before watching the movie.

And Evan, I sure hope I did it justice. The more I think about it the more harrowing it gets.

Just watched this afternoon; what a powerful film. I haven’t seen a film that has affected me on an emotional level of this magnitude in a long time.

It’s an incredible, moving film, truly one of the “strongest signs of friendship and love” that I have ever seen on the screen.

I do think the film should come with a caveat because it was very much like a punch in the gut and then led to many-a-nightmare.

Where are the comments for Phillip’s great review and this extraodinarily moving film?

Sadly, I am not sure what awards it will win, as it recently was shipped over for Oscar consideration, but look for it to appear on many ten-best lists.

You do a wonderful job presenting the specifics, as well as conveying you own heartfelt reactions.

This ois one of the truly great documentaries of recent years, and for me a sizzling contender for the #1 of my year-end ten best list with a select few others.

But it’s the the year’s best and most powerful doc for sure.
