'Unbelievable' strikes nerve with timing of Netflix debut
Read full article: 'Unbelievable' strikes nerve with timing of Netflix debut"Unbelievable" follows the case of Marie Adler ("Booksmart" star Kaitlyn Dever), then 18, who filed a report in 2008 claiming she was sexually assaulted by an intruder in her home. "Unbelievable" isn't a perfect analogy in some respects, since the culprit isn't rich or politically connected. But its message -- about the indifference of the authorities, prompting a young woman to recant her initial statements -- comes through loud and clear. "So basically, you were assaulted twice," a therapist, hearing the details of the story, tells Marie during a court-mandated counseling session. At an early screening of "Unbelievable" in July, Grant recalled that the producers were working on the project when the #MeToo movement started to pick up steam.
