really and average be the only word that come to my mind when you see this . the acting be average ( maybe a bit above average ) and the camera usage be average ( actually below average . the picture be so shaky and the color be grainy and blurry . ) the plot be a good one but move at such a slow pace and wasn not put to good use . this could have be so much more if it do not go at a snail pace and we saw more into the character background . all we see be flashback here and there of alice and how her home life be so bad ( her mother be a working class woman try to make end meet for her and her daughter . ) we see a flashback of her of when she be in high school and her friend say to her tell your mom to make some good food and everybody say it your mom . yeah that embarrass but why would you run away from it . i could definitely see if her mom be a drunk or somebody be abuse her but nothing be wrongwith her home except she be embarrass by it . how immature . be not even give a glimpse of what the couple life have be like ( except that they have be prostitute for awhile and the woman and forget her name and give her baby up when it be 9 month old . ) this really could have be so much more . it could have have alice who be abuse by her drunk mom go down to florida with her friend but then become a prostitute . or something along the line of that other then the real plot of this movie ( that be ) alice and a girl with a home life of probably 90 % of america population ( work class ) runaways to florida but then get sidetrack by turn into a prostitute . i do not see why it win an award at sundance ( it must have be up against some really weak competition to have win that one award . ) also to me and alice boston or new england accent seem force . it do not seem genuine . ( i should know and i be bear and raise in boston and but now live in georgia . ) 4/10 not really worth your time in my opinion .
