So glad she gets the Lifetime Movie treatment. Her craziness was on a level I haven’t seen in ages. Jennifer Grey looks phenomenal in this role. Can’t wait.

Jennefer did an amazing job. The look the voice the mannerisms

[thumpr]

Jeniffer crushed this performance. Wow she had her down pat. Congrats on a great portrayal.

[armandoucles]

I just watched the documentary on HBO Max about this woman. She was batshit crazy and I cannot wait to see this movie.

[EricaFDP]

I am here for this! The casting is BRILLIANT and I cannot wait for them to show us what we haven't seen!

[kimberlee]

Jennifer is GORGEOUS!! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! The blonde hair actually looks really good and she looks svelte and toned!!! Stunning!

[thenightporter]

Jennifer Grey was FANTASTIC! She needs to be in more drama like this. She looks really good too.

[pooh]

I lived in the same city as this lady and did not know this was going on until a couple of years ago.

[pannis]

Jennifer Grey looks amazing in this movie!

[foxibot]

Wow Jennifer Gray looks like she is gonna kill this role. I would have never thought of her for doing this.

I love Jennifer Grey. She literally looks and sounds just like Gwen.

[MyLAEx]

The turnover for this movie is absolutely insane. I was an extra in one of the scenes you can literally see in the trailer less than 2 months ago.

[jamiec]

This was a really good movie. Great work Jennifer & Lifetime

[franklinajohnson]

[lisaryherd]

Wow, they really made her resemble Gwen shamblin!!!

[heatherthomas]

I’m so ready for the movie !! I watched the doc .

[iynamica]

I haven't watched a Lifetime movie in forever. I finished this today and was pleasantly surprised.

[pamelaabettis]

The real Gwen was much prettier and softer in the beginning. It makes me nauseated to see what happened to her and those that trusted and feared her in the end.

[wendycrawford]

So beautiful. I knew this tale was special at one glance at the book.❤️

[LalaLala-fbgm]

Le film est juste génial et en voyant le vrai documentaire, l’actrice qui a jouer son rôle est juste phénoménale 👌🏼👏🏼
