A wonderful ending saves the movie. But from the time the Russian agents enter the apartment, it's all about the F word - and all its variations, many of which are probably original. You are supposed to find it funny, or possibly a caricature of what streaming movies and TV series have become (sex, violence, profanity), but it goes on and on for the rest of the movie. Once upon a time (early 1960's) the word screw was not allowed on the air. But "screw you" has long been replaced by "f**k you", just as darn was replaced by damn. Love used to be the most popular word in the English language, mostly because it was misused to mean "like" as in "I love it". The F word is now that most popular word. I still give it a 6 rating for being a subtle character study, an inverse spoof of the profanity in Hollywood, and of course those last scenes between Igor and Ani.

How can a 10-year old survive in the wild without becoming feral?

How did she even survive and provide for herself? Selling fishes isn't enough, or did she eat grits morning noon and night?

How does she learn so much about her surroundings and biology/botany? Her explanations for refusing to take the stand were spot on but too literary for her limited education.

Why did the black couple store owners agree to portray such stereotypes?

How did Kya get all those books? Why would her father abandon his house and land? Why does Kya always take her boat to get somewhere? How did she learn to draw? How did she get her art supplies? Her makeup? Clothes?

The movie time spent on Kya's predictable relationships with Tate and Chase could have been better used to fleshing out Kya's day to day life, thus drawing us deeper into her character.
