Absolutely Fantastic

There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Blistering performances.

I don't like Britt Robertson at all. She's as interesting as a brick. If you look at the list of her movies (and series), you'll find next to nothing of any depth or quality. It's mostly melodramatic, shallow, formulaic crap. This little movie is undoubtedly an exception, which cannot be ruined even by her bland acting.The movie's full of little gems, unusual little sentences in conversations. It feels rather authentic than schematic. The supporting cast is pretty good, diverting from the fact that the main character's not all that special. It's more the situations the character gets into and the people that cross her path, inadvertently having an impact on her. I imagine the director and writer, Alison Burnett, used some of her own experiences for this. This being her directing debut, I think she did alright. She managed to use her inexperience as a director to her advantage, giving the film an amateur feel, which kind of added charm and authenticity to the mix. The ending might be confusing to say the least, definitely different, and different is always good in my book. It gives the viewer some space to interpret, imagine or even understand. 6.4/10

It appears to be common practice for (producers/crews/writers/directors/actors) to promote their own films by posting gratifying reviews on places like this. The worse the film, the more likely that this unethical and deceptive practice will be used to promote the film in hopes of generating interest and revenue. One of the tell-tale indicators that this is happening, that's almost foolproof, is 8 to 10 star ratings from reviewers who have only posted a single review. When coupled with other, low ratings, by other reviewers; and you can virtually be certain that the glowing reviews are planted by the film's promoters, and should be totally ignored because they are false. Such is the case with this poorly executed, poorly acted, poorly scripted film. While not the worst of its class, it certainly doesn't merit more than 2 or 3 stars at best. I'm giving it 1-star to counter the undeserved glowing ratings from parties whose only motive must be to promote the film for personal benefit.

The movie educates the general populations on an important topic.The topic is one we as a nation have decided to avoid. There is perhaps 20% of our population which has been affected by molestation. The effect of a childhood molestation are understated.Though referred to on numerous occasions, the factor which shaped the main characters life was only the molestation. We must be more aware of it to help those who are suffering.There are faults with the production that additional more money spent would have corrected. A larger budget would have allowed for more extensive cutting and the foreshadowing referred to by another reviewer. More budget could have create an advertising budget to have prevented this film from going straight to video. But it is sad when good films get placed in the seldom seen category.From what I have seen in my life, the characters personalty is completely in line with the symptoms of the problem. Too many women say "I am not bothered", and then demonstrate the behavior depicted in the film.

From the start until the very end something always happened in the plot of this film !The so-called life of a confused teenager in its exaggeration is always interesting to see ! Katie is a brilliant young woman that puts off college for the sake of an older guy.Starting ,with this decision, a journey of trouble , happiness ,sadness , fun and more guys !I believe this journey has a sexual character and it is more of fight between morality and immorality. The contradiction between right and wrong through the words of an actual teenager is actually quite fascinating ! I would recommend this film but I really do not think it suits all tastes...
