Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Movie should be on DVD
I agree with most of the reviews and am hoping that there will be a DVD version made. VHS tapes fade and get noisy with static.
Rating: - un film époustouflant
Aussi loin que je m'en souvienne ce film m'a toujours beaucoup ému un film remarquable avec des acteurs merveilleusement bien choisis.Ce film retrace parfatement le crime odieux que Diane Downs a commis envers ses propres enfants pour un homme marié n'aimant pas les enfants!!!

Rating: - As good as the book!
Movies based upon books are usually not much good, but "Small Sacrifices" is the exception to the rule. Farrah Fawcett delivers a stellar performance as Diane Downs, an Oregon mother who was convicted in mid 1984 for the May 1983 slaying of one of her children and the attempted murders of the other two, all because she was trying to win back the affections of her married lover, who had broken off their affair because he didn't want to be a daddy. Fawcett absolutely excels as Diane Downs because ... Read More
