It took me a while to look past the same piano riff, which kept repeating throughout the movie at times that it didn't warrant. Acting was fine and the production was meaningful, but music production very elementary and unnecessary. The ending of movie had resolution and justice, but was not very impactful.

"Left for Dead" recounts the horrifying true story of Ashley Reeves, who was left partially buried in a forest after she had been strangled. Miraculously, she survived to tell her story. The thoughtful screenplay focuses on the rehab program of Ashley in which she struggles to regain her speech and the ability to walk after her traumatic ordeal in which her neck was broken by Sam Shelton. At the time, she was 17, and he was 26. The past story of her illicit involvement with Sam was downplayed as the filmmakers addressed primarily the young woman's resilience and tenacity during recovery. The two exceptional performances were those of the actresses playing Ashley and her mother, who provided the space and the motivation for Ashley during rehab. There was a strong supporting cast with the performers playing Aunt Cathy; the devoted father; the sensitive detective who chipped in to buy Ashley a music player; and Ashley's long-suffering boyfriend Danny, whose engagement ring is unceremoniously returned to him as part of Ashley's goal of "moving forward." Nothing will get in the way of this girl's rehab! The modest closing courtroom scene allowed Ashley the opportunity for a testimonial in confronting her perpetrator prior to his sentencing. In a plea deal for attempted murder, Sam was given twenty years to contemplate his actions while wearing his orange jumpsuit. At the same time, Ashley leaves the court with her head held high and her spirit unbroken. She is a survivor, who is today a loving caregiver in Illinois.

An unbelievable story of what a victim and her family were put through, not only by the monster who committed the crime, but by the town's people passing judgment on the victim and trying to find sympathy for the criminal. No behavior from the victim, even if she would have been a prostitute could give any justification for such viciousness and brutality.

I already knew the story and It's so sad for Ashley and her family. It's a tragedy what happens to her and no one should live what she experienced. I wach this film to know more but it was really disappointing; 1 27 mn where they talk about almost nothing. They just show how Ashley start to walk, eat and talk again. Nothing about the murderer or their relationship, or how they find out how did this to her. It's just a waist of time watching this film.
