Something About Amelia (1984 TV Movie)
10/10
When BIG pain hits ... get some counseling
3 February 2010
Warning: Spoilers
There are 2 main ways to handle a case of incest. One is to place the offender in jail, and let him rot there for a while. The other method is shown in this one-of-a-kind movie: Counseling for everyone in the family.

Some of the counseling sessions with the father are emotionally overwhelming to me (he slowly but surely admits the "crime" ... and works through his assorted feelings about the incest). Amelia has to work through various problems with her therapist (including some jealousy from her mother, and confusion and anger from her sister).

This movie left me bleeding (emotionally) for weeks after. It was SO true, I felt like I knew the family.

There (truly) is nothing to compare this movie to.
