I heard a lot of good reviews about this movie and off course I didn't expect it to be a perky sort of movie but after watching it, it wasn't something that I'd rave on and on about. This movie is about Tracey Freeland, a 13 year old who's problems are bottled up inside of her and come out through drugs, sex and violence. Its a sad story about a mother and daughter's downfall and their struggle to live life 'normally'. I was impressed by Evan Rachel Wood and Holly Hunter's performances, you really believed that they were a family.
The only problem I have with this movie is that although its trying to make a realistic point of view, I don't know whether it would work on actual teenagers. Because I know that if I watched that movie at 13, it really wouldn't impact on me at all and I would think it was another movie that just portrayed teenagers as a problem.
Its probably a movie that you could watch once but that's about it.
I'd give it a 6 out of 10
