I saw Thirteen and Poker House atmosphere in this movie, but not enough depth of emotion as both. This main issue was incomparable.

What this lacks in dramatics, makes up for it in feeling real. Sure...lots of arguments about whether this or that would happen in real life. The young lady lead is convincing though with some pretty confusing subject matter. Thought it was well done and pertinent.

Fair and poignant treatment of difficult subject matter. No caricatures and seemingly well-researched. The lead actress is a revelation. Some didn't like the ending but I thought it was good - what's realistic and what people might want rarely overlap....

This could have been so good. Lacks poignancy and depth. No character development and hardly any storyline. Most importantly zero responsibility or justice. Come on HBO.

Directed and written by Pippa Bianco, based of the short story also directed and written by her.

Starring 21 year old Rhianne Barreto, playing the 16 year old lead Mandy, who was out with school friends partying and drinking and end up passing out and wakes up in the morning on her front lawn and a video appears on social media of guys having their way with her while she is drunk or possibly drugged.

Her caring parents are well played and they are being smart about how to handle it but at the core of it, in my opinion, the story revolves are consent and not taking advantage of a person when they are at a disadvantage. This is actually an age old issue but when new technology and especially with social media today we hear more about it.

No surprise then that the director also helped write an episode of Euphoria which also focused on consent as well.

The main cast was great and I imagine we will be seeing more from Rhianne Barreto as well in the future and I can't wait to see what Pippa Bianco has for us next.

The ending might not be what some would expect so make sure you watch it.
