Girl Lost - A Garota de Programa

What can I say about this independent gem. Yes, it's a gem because you really got into the life of the 15 year old girl. Her life is just one piece of trash. Growing up with her mother isn't fun. Mother has no money so prostitution is the only remedy to earn money.

The girl has to wait in the car for her mother while she's doing it so slowly she also gets into the world of selling your body. Jessica Taylor Haid playing the 15 year old prostitute gives an excellent performance. It's was her first flick and to do all this stuff you see a big thumb up. There's a lot of nudity going on and some will be offended by it because she's fifteen of course.

Not a happy movie after all and shows the life of so many youth in the USA. No work is no money is no place to stay. Great performances, good filming and editing, okay there's a continuity fault on the beach with the girl her socks but hey. If that's all...if you find this and can stand sad stories then pick it up.

This is by far the best Indie film I've seen in a long time. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was incredibly intriguing and had me through the whole film. The acting was great, and the plot was disturbing in the best way. An eye opener for sure! I've never seen anything like it, and looking forward to more from this director..

Because it appears that we have a ton of experts in underage prostitution. "So real", "gripping truth", etc. But seriously, it's a dark indie pick that depicts desperate people trying to survive in a way-to-expensive California while never considering moving to somewhere else or doing something else. It does a good job of displaying a white trash attitude and mindset.

1st off, the young girl main character is very pretty, which doesn't hurt. The acting by everyone is decent and the characters and situations seem realistic. Location shooting is one of the strongest aspects of this film. However, I wasn't quite satisfied. If it somehow went deeper I would have given it one or two more stars.

So sad but true. Could have gone many ways. I had several scenarios in my head but I do like to be surprised by endings
