Viewing Notes

This is a very bleak film.  I think we’ve seen this done before: teenagers growing up in a depressing town with little prospects for the future.  Alcohol, drugs, sexual exploitation, pregnancy, etc.  This is the first feature film from the director and she does a really nice job.  It’s beautifully shot and the acting is very good.
