I was very taken with this low budget indie film from seasoned Movie Man Bruce Logan. His direction of Alexis Rosinksy was exemplary - child actors can all too easily slip into victim/gamine/cute - but this young girl was guided into a moving performance which never slid into sentimentality. The story is a particularly harsh one involving child prostitution and the devastation wreaked by drugs but it stayed with me and left me heartened rather than despairing. It's not all grim and gore - loving relationships go some way to relieving the gloom and it not only resonates but looks and feels much more of a high-end movie than its modest budget would suggest. See it!
