Mickey and the Bear

I've never heard of Camila Morrone up until this point and honestly i don't ever write reviews I'm writing this because she deserves a long prosperous career.

You can really see and feel her soul shining through this role, a very natural, empathetic human being that was able to really shape this role in such a simple yet powerful way.

Such a charisma to her simplistic ways.. and for me she carries this film because of it. People underestimate how powerful a performance can be when you truly get out of the way and allow the subtleties to tell the story.

The writer and director did a great job too and it's a nice relief to see a coming of age drama with the human tones that we lack in our blockbuster environment.

I hope and trust you all have epic careers, much love.

The gross take of less than $60,000 should tell you something. There is nothing original. Looks like they took good actors and made them embarrass themselves.

I had to leave a review because the 6.4 rating is shocking.

This is a well written, well directed and well acted movie. It covers a very sensitive issue with depth and subtlety. I really enjoyed it.

And the ending is perfect.

One of the most accomplished first films I've ever seen. Ms Attanasio- clearly at the beginning of a beautiful career - writes and directs with the Confidence of someone twice her years. For Ms Merrone, filmgoers will remember this performance in years to come on par with Jennifer Lawrence and Winters Bone. James Badge is heartbreaking and terrifying as the dad that can't let her go. And the town of Anaconda is made a character in itself. All of it wrapped up in a beautiful story of a young woman in a terrible double bind between her father's needs and her own, and the decision she's forced into that seems to have no good solution.

Menacing and claustrophobic, bringing the power of an abusive relationship to film.
