US drama following a 16-year-old runaway who develops a damaging relationship with an older woman.
A weak shrug of an ending leaves an interesting film feeling less than satisfying.
Deeply unsettling, but ultimately unsatisfying psychological drama that over-manipulates its specious situation. However, Evan Rachel Wood is quite superb as the victim-turned-predator who is caught in a spiral of abuse.
Evan Rachel Wood plays a woman manipulating a teenage girl into a sexual relationship in this intense but flawed film.
Subtly takes its time telling us what we already know from the start.
Wood delivers another impressive performance but the dry, humourless script makes it almost impossible to root for her.
