Tragic tale of child abuse fails to make any sense of the crime.

If Eli Roth were to direct a Lifetime movie, it might look something like An American Crime.

Not even the considerable talents of lead thesps Catherine Keener and Ellen Page can alleviate the artistic nullity that is An American Crime.
