Great story line not predictable at all. New cast did a great job. Definitely a must see

Great Story, Excellent Cinematography

A little gem in Netlix's huge library.

Great story, great acting all around. Definitely worth the watch. I appreciate how the director and screen writers kept in clean for viewers in comparison to what is being pushed out into the market in this day and age. No sex or nudity, just great story telling.

The lighting, the handheld looking shots, the overall cinematography was absolutely on point for the style.

Very good

The acting all around was terrific. Made this a very believable story. I followed my son in HS wrestling.

Great

I loved that it was very authentic and the acting was great. Sad to see how some parents ruin their kids' lives and have such bad influence. This film is inspiring and shows the true power of will and complexities of our society. That poor girl really had it rough. Being a girl in a place where girls are only being sexualised, poor and basically almost homeless, with a beatup dad who only tried to use her, and a few good people on the way.

Crazy credits
Elvire Emanuelle gets the "Introducing" credit, but before the other actors. Since the word "Starring" doesn't appear, it looks as if all the actors are getting this credit.
