fascinate movie and base on a true story and about an australian woman and lindy chamberlain ( meryl streep ) accuse of kill her baby daughter . she insist that a dingo take her baby and but the story be highly suspicious . the film be actually about the medium circus that take place around the case and the way australians interpret what be present in the medium and and the lynch mob mentality that ultimately lead to the woman conviction and base on barely any hard evidence . i love film that question the medium and and also film that take a hard look on how people be railroad by the justice system . i have always think that jury ought to be show 12 angry men before they go through with their duty . it not and a have often be say and a liberal movie and but a clinical look at how we a human being interpret event base so much on our prejudice and a desire for revenge . a cry in the dark be likewise clinical . schepisi be careful not to make the film at all melodramatic . some may find the film boring or dry and but i find it engage .
