Did you people see the same film I saw?
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
To be honest I don't really care about the gay thing don't judge me. But this movie is really intense. i love the characther of Lauren (introvert + strong) i love it!
Is is my opinion that if one is to grade a movie they should consider not only performance of the crew and special effects but also the meaning and the necesity of it all. The message of this movie, wich apparently (read other comments) in not so obvious, it the best part of this production.The movie is about the consequences of blind belief in the system and about the stupidity of opinion that the truth and innocence are enought to protect anyone. Obviously it is not The Shawshank Redemption but it is good enough for a boring evening. Last thing. It is not necessarily a lesbian movie as there is only one girl that defines her sexual orientation. As to others: a person broken by years of abuse would be anything if it pleases their savior and drunken girl that tries to experiment with her best friend does not necessarily count as gay.
1. They have been making these "exploitation" movies -- wrongly accused teen sent to detention camp by corrupt judge -- since the 1940s. Seriously. 2. The IMDB external reviews make this sound like a mix of Godfather and Star Wars. It is not. 3. Bailey Noble is the best thing in the movie. She seems like she actually cares about her character, a claim no other cast member can make. 4. The corrupt judge is played by a character actor who always plays corrupt judges. The evil warden is played by a Robert Redford lookalike, which is just creepy. The cast is always dressed in Tide-clean outfits which is the telltale of a B movie. Bottom Line -- if you are sent up the river by a corrupt judge, and this movie is played on movie night, it is bearable. Otherwise it is not
Like there are no straight people left in America...But i guess, if you don't have a grade a product, you just have to follow a politically correct theme (girls oppressed -all inmated are girls-, boys are bad, girls are gay) just to get some thumbs upOther than that, it was not that bad; a 4 would suffice
