This one was a sleeper. We follow a trashy, foul-mouthed, angry 15 year old girl, all with a hand-held camera and ambient sound. I found myself irritated for the first hour but as the cause for her anger is subtly revealed to us the story becomes engaging...helped enormously by the skill of the players and the sensibility of the director.
It eventually slides into an engrossing drama and slowly comes to a resolution that works beautifully.
KJ, whose first acting turn this is, was stunning. Hers was an incredibly brave performance...she was in every scene...and she made the film work. Nice job.
