Absolutely the worst movie.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

First off, my condolences to the families of everyone who was involved in this crime. Second, this is the true crime story of a little girl whose mother had Munchausen syndrome by proxy (and probably some other stuff) and so the little girl orchestrates the death of her mom. The systematic abuse this kid faced is so bad words cannot describe what she went through. This film reminds us that Lady Justice wears a blindfold and holds scales for a good reason. I truly hope that everyone who survived this ordeal can get some help.

A documentary about a Munchausen By Proxy case that ended in a murder.Gypsy and her mother Dee Dee are both victims of each other: Gypsy is psychologically and physically abused by her mother who gives her endless medications and medical treatments since she was an infant. A loving mother on the outside, she's actually keeping her daughter an emotional captive and physically disabled. Gypsy gets in touch with a young man, develops a romantic relationship with him and finally manipulates him to kill her mother. After the murder Gypsy writes posts on Facebook about the death of her mother and the couple go on road trip and have a good time.Are these the actions of an abused child that had enough or the acts of a manipulative cold hearted murderer?This documentary constantly keeps you ambivalent on Gypsy's actions. Especially when you hear Dee Dee's parents talk about their daughter like she was the devil and are actually glad she is dead.Gypsy escaped the death penalty and probably got the best outcome she could have had under the circumstances.

Truly one of the best true crime documentaries I have seen lately. This is not your normal true crime case. It's very well presented by the filmmakers and will cause many mixed emotions as you learn the whole story behind it. I don't want to give away anything for those who don't know the case, but just know that it is just as heartbreaking as it is horrific.
