Falsely Accused takes a look at the element of insanity without glamorizing, sensationalizing or demonizing it. I honestly can't think of another film on a similar subject that has managed to pull off this balance so successfully.
We care about the characters, but are completely aware of their flaws. We are given a realistic portrayal of what it is like to be ostracized within a small community. The crime scenes are exciting and we can't anticipate what is going to happen next.
This film is moral without moralizing and humane without romanticizing or sentimentalizing the subject. Falsely Accused has a subtlety, depth and heart missing from other more voyeuristic cinematic treatments of insanity.
