I enjoyed the film, but was a tad disappointed it was a straight ahead bio, with little to say about what made Page tick. Overall it felt like they were just scratching the surface, leaving many questions. Why did she like to spend time by herself? Why did she continue to trust people - men in particular - after some of the things she experienced? Did she leave the bondage and nude modeling because she believed the depravity connection the father made in the senate hearing? I think Mol did a terrific job, but would have liked a little more examination of the character.

i thought the same about david straithairn.
also about what you said of the movie.
i felt like it was a bit of a fluff piece.
almost like this movie was made by her mother.
i needed to get to why she kept getting into cars and meeting men even with what was going on.
was she that trusting.
almost seemed to me that she was pertrayed a lttle bit of a dim bulb.
almost like she didnt understand what was going on with the bondage photos
in the features section the dir or someone on the film mentioned
they actually have the video of the hearings.
some of that would have been interesting to see.
