Stranger Inside (TV) (2001)

Synopsis: A woman in a correctional juvenile facility is sent to a state penitentiary, where she meets an inmate that is supposed to be the mother that left her at birth. 
Appraisal: This film surprised me for its emotional density. Also, it is very well directed; it does not look like an average TV movie, but I think I must update my paradigms, because theatrical movies look more and more like bad TV series, and TV movies look more and more like good cinema. Anyway, if something bad must be said, it is that my system is so saturated with prison movies after watching so many of them, that even this one had some taste of deja-vu to it. But it shows some new angles too, and it is very candid. 
Rating: 54
