I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
