Review by screamingfoot

I watched this all the way through one night until about 2am and couldn't look away. Dominique Swain is phenomenal as the lead in this film and I have to say, I've yet to see a better portrayal of Southern white trash than that depicted by Swain and her counterpart. To use a film review cliché (that I hate), Swain "sizzles" in this film. There are SO many layers to her performance, I'm dumbfounded as to why she's not being cast in more mainstream films.

The writing in particular has some really nice poetic aspects to it which were a welcome element.

All aspects of the film are top notch - writing, score, production design, cinematography - it's ALL good.
