I loved Julia Stiles in "10 Things I Hate About You" and picked up this movie at the video store because she was in it. I found the characters in this film well developed and convincing...a little bit overly so. The subject matter and plot were very disturbing, yet engrossing...like watching a car accident.
I found the film very well directed with good cinematography, well acted and hats off to Julia Stiles for pulling in a very convincing performance of a very disturbed teenage girl and the equally disturbed dysfunctional people in her life. The film was very engrossing, but just as equally unsettling. I would prefer to see all of the individuals involved in this project in something a little more uplifting before I could honestly recommend someone seeing this film to show how far they have progressed beyond this madness.
