It's 1963. Trish Weir (Abigail Breslin) gets raped by Ernesto Miranda. It's a long bumpy road from there to conviction to the Supreme Court and back to trial again.
I've never considered this case despite the omnipresence of this legal precedent. Miranda is not even a person's name anymore. On a basic level, this movie is interesting information. The problem is the case itself. It makes one root against this important ruling. It does settle on Trish and her compelling journey especially after her marriage. It's a bumpy journey of a movie. It's probably a bit long at over two hours although I don't know what could be trimmed. I would definitely change the title. They probably want Miranda's name in the title, but I want Trish in there too.

story behind the phrase
Sorry...disappointing
I guess Miranda's Victim had its heart in the right place and the acting was first rate for the most part but the movie tried to capture the 60's so hard it ended up coming off more like a 70's after school special.
The cinematography was excellent and some of the soundtrack worked but the story was an exercise in who cares-at least the way this writer told it. Could have been something special but the writer and director missed their opportunity in my opinion.
Maybe they delivered what they were trying to but for me it was overly dramatic way too much of the time and ended up feeling flat and falling flat on its face. Little suspense or drama. Sorry. So disappointed.
Weak just a week
A beautiful tale of salvation and cultural evolution. A young lady's journey through a course of absurd unjustnesses to get the justice done for an obvious heinous crime. The revelation on the backwardness of toxic masculinity is sharply criticized also knocking off any remnants at present. Thought provoking crusade marking a mile stone of law and policing of a country. And the flawless performance by Abigail Breslin was a bonus and the rest of the cast were also putting up sincere performances. Great visuals capturing both emotions and changing imes. Great music saves the story from any dullness. Miranda's victim is a iconic docudrama that's uniquely interesting.
