Based on horrific true events, American Girls is a dark, nihilistic tale about the abduction, rape and murder of two high school girls and the fallout that nearly decimates a small Midwestern town, as long buried secrets surface when the police begin to put together the pieces of the crime. Using the framework of movies such as The Social Network, American Girls offers no easy answers. Using multiple character points of view, the film presents a harrowing, psychologically astute look at a tragic crime and an uncompromising glimpse at what contributed to the death of the girls, the aftermath their families face, and the utterly evil personae of their killers.
