I loved this film because it gave an accurate view of how the 1990 Crisis was really like. However, there was a problem with this in that there was too much cussing by the underage characters. In fact, they cussed way more than the adults! To me, that was wrong.
As for the plot, I liked how Beans' family interweaved with the Crisis, how it affected them and how they fought through it to survive. I loved how Beans' father physically took part in the struggle itself by helping with the blockades. He is a true warrior here. Bean's mother is also a warrior by confronting the cops and soldiers.
As for those kids who bullied Beans and her sister at first but then became friends: they taught her to be strong but they also turned her into a rebel. Her rebellious side showed when she began cussing, drinking, causing mischief, becoming more aggressive, etc. I think her choice of friends was a mistake. It would have been better if those kids focused all their attention on the crisis at hand, and I don't mean just throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails like they did in the bushes near that campsite.
I also noticed one character. I know her from 'Mohawk Girls'. She played her part well too. Anyway, this one deserves a 9 out of 10.
