Boring, long, and too preachy.

Awesome Movie

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

All the actors/actresses played their parts well IMO, but the story is horrible. Synopsis; girl has what she thinks is a bad life, runs away, to more crazy and worse life...the big issue is the way the story and directing go about it...it's like they're trying to pull off some cult classic feel like pulp fiction, or kill bill....but this never gets it right...which is horrible for all the actors/tresses because every time they have to convey an emotion or look, they get it right. But the story is a major disjointed pile of trash, poorly directed, and IF this story merited a movie, it was poorly written. Watch Gimme Shelter if you want a movie with "a girl got beat down, but made it out with help" in a sane and thoughtful approach. Hick is a waste of valuable minutes out of a life that you can never reclaim.

If you want some lightweight comedy and do not have a very unique sense of humour, do not watch this movie.But even as a tough drama it is not a really interesting work. The basic setting has a lot of potential and I am sure the book is great, but in the movie the story just goes very fast new characters are introduced very fast and relations between characters are created in an instant without giving them time to develop.Due to a good soundtrack and performance by Chloë Grace Moretz Hick still managed to focus my attention till the end featuring several minor plot twists.I would recommend this movie only to the real Chloë Grace Moretz fans who want to see all of her works.

Such a waste! There are some good actors in this tale of a 13 year old girl running away from home and meeting all sorts of scum of the earth. Chloe Grace Moretz delivers a master class of acting for young actors. No actress of her generation has such range. But the story is just so feel bad. Blake Lively tries to act the hooker thing. She isn't that convincing in the skank roles like 'The Town'. Eddie Redmayne is incomprehensible. Couldn't understand most of what he said. He's was totally miscast. What on earth was Alec doing in this movie?Is is a warning to teens not to run away from home? Maybe then there is some message. Overall don't bother even if you like the stars.

I enjoyed this movie, because of the undetermined type of emotion it leaves behind and the great performance of all three leading actors.For me this movie reflects the states of mind of futurelessness, opportunism, excitement of the unknown, innocence, confusion, succumbing to temptation and past regrets.The mixture would resonate into most viewers' hearts, as they can associate with at least some of these feelings.It is a coming-of-age tale and a bitter one.Chloe delivers an amazing performance, which illustrates pretty well the misconceptions about the world, that a person of her character's age would hold and the confusion of those meeting reality. All this, while being simply seductive in a Lolitta kind of way.Eddie Redmayne, in this movie, is an absolute incorporation of the gravitational pull of danger and the charisma of the mysterious.His performance is very convincing and the message very real.Glenda, the haunted by the past, reckless, survivor character played by Blake is a very nice touch.All of them together, they draw a pretty accurate picture of the vicious circle, in which the predators and victims of any form of abuse are caught up.Some scenes lack the depth and impact, they could have had, if different cinematography tools were used. Sometimes I failed to see any reflection on a situation or cause-effect relation, that I had expected. However, the message still gets through and it's a pleasant, if disturbing, piece.
