A film based on the real suburban life of a 13 year old girl, who along with a troubled best friend, starts drugs, smoking and sex. the film is OK, i saw it with a friend whilst on holiday, i really enjoyed it, i think it is real, although not everyone goes through what she does in the film, it is still based on real life...
her life was taken over by sex, drugs, fashion, crime and trying to have her own identity...
holly hunter said 'from the minute i read it, i felt it had a primary kind of power; it was like a gigantic wash of color, extremely visceral. it felt up-to-the second talking about what's going on now. it had an energy very much like beating around a bunch of 13 year olds who are scatter shot and ricocheting'
apparently the film was meant to be a comedy but a heart wrenching story was so much better :P
