About The Lover in the Attic: A True Story

Directed by Melora Walters, The Lover in the Attic: A True Story leans on a strong ensemble — Molly Burnett, Kevin Fonteyne, David Fierro — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about tv movie titles of 2018.
