I Accuse (2003)
Kimberly Jansen is a single mother who lives in a small Canadian town. After cutting her hand at a party, she visits the hospital to seek what she assumes will be routine treatment. Instead, she falls victim to a predator in a white coat: Dr. Richard Darian, who drugs her and rapes her while she is asleep. Kimberly attempts to press charges, but the townsfolk and the local police, who regard her as a tramp and respect the doctor, dismiss her accusations.

Did you people see the same film I saw?
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I watched this movie last night and I have a question. What was in that shoebox he had hidden that the cops found?? I saw him go down to the basement and look in that box a couple of times. It never showed what was in it. I've looked everywhere and can't find anything about it. The movie was OK. I don't think I would really watch it again. Things just seemed weird about it; The shoebox they kept showing which never got brought up, the other girl who finally came forward about previously being raped (I didn't see her in court), and the girl at the end that stayed overnight in the hospital (did he rape her?). I don't like movies where they put things in there and don't explain what it is or what's going on.
"I Accuse" is based on a true story. The story is about Dr. Schneeburger who drugged one of his female patients and raped her. But the twist was.... there was no DNA evidence. I saw it on "Forensic Files".This is a well-written and acted interpretation. Estella Warren plays the victim named Kimberly. She is partying one night and has to go to the hospital after cutting her hand. She wasn't treated, but drugged and raped by Dr. Darian (John Hannah). Kimberly has a bad reputation around town as a tramp and no one believes her. She can't press charges because there's no evidence. John Hannah and Warren put in excellent performances.Hannah plays the evil doctor without going over the top. The mystery aspect is well-handled, but the courtroom scene near the end is a little over-dramatic. Overall, worth seeing for the acting and interesting story.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com
This unfortunately is a very true story about a woman in Canada and her ordeal with a medical person. The movie might be a bit boring to some, but it was interesting to find out how this ended. If anyone wants to know the true story, you can find out about it on a show called "Forensic Files". It is always absurd when a woman is seen as a tramp or the town slut out to ruin a man's reputation or career. I am not sure why men always try and discredit a woman as she says that something has happened to her at the cause of a man. If you have a mother, sister, niece, aunt, grandmother and they went through a terrible ordeal, would you not believe them? To be violated in such a brutal manner is painful just to hear about it, but women go through it every day.
Cannot WAIT until Matt Dejong writes again! It was a story that needed to be told and he did an excellent job portraying this womens struggle for justice. I was hooked from start to finish! A job well done for sure!
