Paquin's acting is hard to watch--her facial expressions are very forced. Hanks' and Lacy's acting is also not their best. But mainly it's the naiveté of the parents that makes it hard to believe. Idc what decade it was or what their religious affiliation was, no adult is this naive/dumb. They mindlessly get rid of evidence, believe that a grown man lying w/ a 12 yo is therapy, the mom gets over him kidnapping their daughter and F's him *after* the kidnapping and after knowing about her hubby's handy. No way! I bet the parents used these lies to hide a worse truth, only thing that makes sense.
