Editorial Review:
A newborn is found dead in a serene, simple Amish farming community. Was it a tragic accident or could it be murder? That's the shocking question facing high-profile criminal lawyer Ellie Harrison (Mariska Hargitay), who ditches her self-indulgent city life to head to rural Pennsylvania. Ellie must defend an 18-year-old Amish girl, Katie (Alison Pill), who stands accused of killing her baby. Despite the surmounting evidence, the teen insists that she was never pregnant. While trying to learn her client's secrets, Ellie is forced to live with the Amish and attempts to break down the barriers of this very private society. Inspired by the best-selling Jodi Picoult novel of the same name.

The Plain Truth Reviews:
Great Movie by Jodie Picoult 
2009-09-10 - I read the book first so it kinda ruined the movie...But if you love Mariska Hargitay, you will NOT be disappointed! It is a great movie and I watch it from time to time and never tire of it!
PLAIN TRUTH
2009-07-12 - Plain Truth is a pleasure to own.
We first saw it on television, and decided that we must have this first-rate movie.
Besides being well casted, it was fascinating to watch.
What made it most intriguing was that it dealt with an Amish community.
We recommend it to everyone!
Disappointment 
2008-09-19 - This movie really made me just mad. I loved the book. The best part is when ellie finds out she is pregnant. They totally left that part out. It would have maded the movie 100% better. If you are expecting just like the book then dont buy this movie. It doesnt really give details on how cope and ellies relationship crow more when they find out she is pregnant and she ends up with all the complications she goes through. Sorry had to get that off I just finished the movie.
The Plain Truth 
2008-09-02 - By far one of the best Lifetime movies I have seen. Excellent story, acting, directing, scenery, sets, and camera work. If you enjoy a good drama you should at least rent this one. An Amish girl, expertly played by Alison Pill, is accused of murdering her baby when they find a dead infant near her parents farm house. She shows signs of giving birth, but she claims she never had the baby. A friend of the family tries to assist them by asking her friend to defend the girl. Mariska Hargatay of "Law and Order" plays her attorney deftly. The judge makes her the girls custodian. Hargatay does an excellent job of showing a wide range of emotions as this case unfolds many surprises. If you enjoyed this catch "Witness" and "The Client".
