Crossed Over - review

Based on a true story, novelist Beverly Lowry struggles to deal with the recent death of her teenage son and finds herself forming an unlikely friendship with a death row inmate.

As she spends time with murderer Karla Fay Tucker, Beverley begins to rediscover her fighting spirit and so starts a campaign to get Karla’s execution put off, all the while finding their friendship a comfort as she begins to deal with her grief.

Starring Diane Keaton as Beverley, this TV movie was interesting to watch and even though it was based on a true story, I found it hard to fathom how meeting with a convict unconnected to the death of her son would have helped Beverley.
