A story of growth and liberation, with some startling structure issues. Starting this off, Steven Ogg, Maggie Siff and Sabrina Carpenter, absolutely crush it. Danny Trejo lends himself quite well to this film as well, it's the more amateurish actors, that blemish the performances, but they're still quite serviceable. The film is shot well, with the long shots, during the van sequences, being absolutely captivating. The soundtrack, is a tad bit repetitive, but that final song during the ending sequence, is astounding.
With that being said, this movie suffers from some weird structure issues towards the 3rd and final act of the film, all in a messy attempt to get to the end. There's a sequence with a character, Marcie, where both her and Nola overreact to the situation, in an obvious attempt to get the film back on track, I guess? But it would have been nice to see Nola, attempt to grow while in this home, surrounded by people she could build a relationship with. But outside of that, it's a pretty enjoyable film, that I've watched on three occasions now and enjoy, with each new viewing.
