This movie is a great example of a project where an audience can really get a sense of how much heart the director and actors put into this project without spending extravagant amounts of money.
There's only a handful of settings used throughout the movie, but the world the characters lives in feels large and robust. I couldn't tell you where exactly this took place (at some point, they're in LA), but the tight neighborhoods reminded me of where I grew up.
The characters are distinct and real, and the audience soon gets the feeling that they already know them from only having watched them for a little bit. You find yourself wanting Sadie to accept Jane's friendship and for Jane to get something better than her current circumstances.
The soundtrack gives the movie a different sort of vibe that I can't put my finger on. Overall, a very intimate portrait of people living their lives and trying to make it in the world.
