Bastard Out Of Carolina is one of those movies that make you want to turn it off because what your seeing on screen is just so disturbing and horrible but you can't turn it off because your hoping that the movie will have a happy ending. Anyways, the story is about a young girl named Bone(Jena Malone) being constantly molested and beaten up by her horrifying stepfather. It is just so heartbreaking to see, what this little girl had to go through each day. Like many people here said, you just want to reach into your television and take the child away. I really hated her mother(Jennifer Jason Leigh) who didn't care what happened to Bone because she loved her new husband too much. I would give Bastard Out Of Carolina 8/10.
