Movie Haiku:From the files of "The Innocence Project" comes a truish story of a working class woman (Swank) who mines untapped inner resources when her brother (Rockwell) is wrongfully imprisoned for murder. We already know Bettye Anne succeeds, but the narrative shows how. Jan loves this film & predicts BSA Oscar nom for Rockwell come January & maybe Driver''''''''''''''''s BFF too.
