I loved this movie. I don't get why a lot of people don't like it. It's cinematography is homey and beautiful. I think it touches into the lives of real people and their stories. The actresses did an amazing job in this film as well. Their acting was very raw and believable. I love how the movie talked about love and how it is tough but worthwhile and beautiful. The narration of Shade, the main character, was really interesting and told like a true teenage girl. I don't really understand how people find this movie boring, I mean it's about real life. Just because it's not packed with action doesn't mean it's boring.
