this movie leave me feel empty . i do not need to be teach that some men be control and abusive and or that some teen be troubled and emotionally fragile and and i do not need to be taught that true faith in god and or goodness and be difficult in a violent world . like most people and i know these thing already . this movie be so full of depress tragedy that it desperately need fully develop and interesting character to make u care and and i find the character sketchy at best . martha plimpton be always interesting and it be nice to see her in a lead role and but she deserve a good script . a disappointment and and it no wonder it do not get much of a theatrical run .
