The Girl in the Bathtub (2018 TV Movie)
2/10
Waste of a meaningful story.

I've seen a lot of bad movies but this one takes the cake. I guess I should've read some reviews before I started watching!

Acting was fine but the writing really gave the characters no justice whatsoever. The movie spends about an hour and ten minutes sharing a back story to the main character (pretty much only focusing on her love life), about ten more minutes of her death, and the last six minutes to share the part of the story where she heavily overdosed. At no point in the movie did I feel like this girl was actually murdered which is what the movie was trying to portray. The "suspects" really seemed to have no motive. Like sure the ex-wife but she's was shown in about two parts of the movie? No one else really had a realistic motive to kill this girl unless they were a sociopath who just got bored one day (so obviously not the case; no signs of a crime of passion).

I feel as though the movie told the real story horribly, it was like a teen-movie (I guess hence why it is TV-14). I understand they wanted to establish the back story of a person may have a life full of people but is still struggling alone... but seriously this poor girls story is made out to be some teen drama. Honestly just disappointed I'll never get that hour and twenty-six minutes of my life back, for a movie that actually could've been told in a much more enjoyable and meaningful way.
