Absolutely Fantastic

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Anna Nix (Sara Malakul Lane) kills her step father in self defense. She is sentenced to be in a nubile prison sexplotation film filled with drugs, shower scenes, a rapist warden, and girl/girl action. Oh yeah, she plays a cello.The acting was what one would expect from an Asylum film as they used their regular stars. The dialog wasn't great, but if the object is to watch 30 year old Sara Malakul Lane undress looking like 17, then the film achieved its goal. There is no watching the film for any deep underlying message, nor would I call it a film about redemption. It is a prison girl film. Not as great as "Chained Heat" but meets the requirements.Perv guide: F-bombs, sex, rape, girl/girl full frontal nudity (Sara Malakul Lane, Erin O'Brien, Jennifer Robyn Jacobs + others)

Scrolling through the Netflix choices, I came upon this gem, which somehow managed to garner a three-star rating (guess a lot of pervs use Netflix). It started with a girl sitting in her bedroom doing one of the worst imitations of a musician I've ever seen on film. I knew from that point this was going to be bad. Then she gets raped by her step- father, and ends up doing jail time when she defends herself. I told you it was going to be bad. After that, she spends some time in a maximum security prison of course, where they basically try to piece together nearly every story line from the first two seasons of 'Orange is the New Black' (only got through two seasons of that show until we got tired of it). And then it ends with her doing an even worse imitation of a musician than in the opening scene. Horrendous.

If you are triggered by sexual abuse, incest, drug use, mental illness, then do not watch this movie.I'm not impressed that sexual assault seems to be the driving force behind this film. It was extremely graphic, and at some points, highly unnecessary.The storyline was all over the place, and so was Anna's character - one minute she's shy and reclusive, the next she's addicted to crack and attacking guards, and one day she's having sex with her roommate and the next she's banging the gang leader? The continuity was pretty poor.This movie was clearly low-budget and I don't even know why I wasted an hour of my life that I'm never going to get back.

I don't know why most reviewers are hating on this movie. It is not presenting as a true story or as portraying prison reality. For example, I don't think prisons allow several inmates to be in a group shower unsupervised so they can gang up on and beat up one prisoner, and they look much more attractive than average inmates. But the movie does well portray conflicts of morality and criminal violence. This very attractive girl has been raped numerous times in and out of prison and she deals with it with rational self-defense. It is very much like a Lifetime Channel movie without the nudity censored. And I don't think the sex and nudity was gratuitous--it's what life is like for a girl like her in such a situation. I really don't find much fault with the movie. You can watch it for free on IMDb and I liked it so much I copied it to a DVD to watch again whenever I want. One of the best womens prison movies made.
