I found this movie no different than all the other movies based on a loner teen dealing with bullying, divorce and delving in the world of sex and drugs. The movie was longer than needed to be with too many sexual scenes. Not impressed with any of the acting. The only activity of the teens is getting high.

Watched> Wednesday, 19th March, 2025 @ Edge Water Studios. Rated 2 * * stars > Average/Fair - 4/10 < Cert. Should be 15 > Jane, played very well by Rain Cooper. The story based in Los Angeles, California, USA in 2005, about a young 'hoodie' teenage girl, with little ambitions, living with her Sister and Mother, separated from her Dad. Mother is busy with her own life of work and socialising, not giving much time for Jane, who is detached from family life, sitting a lot in her room, on her computer and mobile, whilst blasting out music to her mother's annoyance. Jane is a loner at her local high school, by not mixing with others, just distancing herself from life in general. Then she's drawn in to another world of wild teenage boys and girls boozing, snorting the white stuff and having sex. Jane is now enjoying the attention of others, which is now more exciting than her previous lifestyle. Unknown to Jane, this is the downward slope to a tragic way of living, despite the fun of all the partying throughout the night. I do feel this Film/Movie is somewhat drawn out about 20 minutes, instead of 1h 57m, it would have been more suited to 1h 37m. It is still worth giving it a try. (ps)

The movie had a lot of passion and empathy, but also harsh realities. As someone who has 26 years in recovery and has spent years working in a detox, this is one of the most real movies on this topic I have seen.

Not since another great female driven auto bio pic (MDMA) have I been this impressed with a movie showing a point of view that is usually so sorely misrepresented.

I am not a woman, BUT with me time working with both male and female addicts, BOTH movies help the understanding from different backgrounds, yet so similar.

The feelings of solitude and loneliness of wanting to be accepted have been displayed making the characters identifiable and relatable.
