I felt really uncomfortable with this film.

I saw that movie, it was quite moving although I seem to remember the critics panned it. I seem to remember reading or thinking

Spoiler

the murder was botched, the guy (a neighbour of the family?) hadn't originally intended to kill her but he chased her up the steps when she tried to run away and she tripped, fell down and died or some such? (I saw it a few years ago but I think it was something like that?) I remember thinking at the time, if he never meant to kill her then how did he expect to get away with trying to abuse her? maybe he'd have threatened her to keep her quiet? im not sure. The neighbour/criminal did look quite creepy - as if every paedo looks strange or creepy - are there not movies or other depictions where perfectly normal and respectable looking people turn out to be paedophiles etc.? that might seem even more shocking somehow...
