The fact that "Abducted In Plain Sight" left me with a feeling of uncleanliness wasn't just because of its subject matter, believe it or not. It was the way the subject matter was handled.

Disturbing but not irredeemably horrible. More it's a fascinating story of misplaced trust and single minded obsession that's a must-watch for true crime nerds and documentary fiends.

Abducted In Plain Sight is one of the most harrowing true-crime documentaries I've ever seen. Abducted In Plain Sight is a remarkable and unforgettable survivor story.

While it's easy to think that no one alive could be as naive as the Brobergs, the documentary is a sobering reminder of the power of manipulation, the failures of the justice system.

This mind-boggling, aggravating account of child kidnapping compresses an entire season's supply of bizarre, shocking twists into ninety minutes...

If there is a point to Abducted beyond simply retelling the saga's many horrors and waiting for the viewer's jaw to drop, it might be its own principals' disbelief.

The subject matter is not for everyone, but it is a documentary one should not miss. [Full Review in Spanish]

It unpacks too many bizarre events in a short time frame to allow for much additional analysis. And the Broberg family, confessional to a fault, are primed more for honesty than for self-inspection.

Shocking and provocative, Skye Borgman's film upholds the binge watching generation's fascination with the true crime documentary.
