Viewed it twice front to back...this film requires attention, and first view I was thinking that I'd just relax and watch a film. I hadn't paid quite enough attention the first time, a few distractions here and there and I'd missed key and subtle little insights into these, well, I guess I wouldn't say so complex of characters, even though most of us would like to think that they were. Hearing the words twice through the voices of the beautiful, gritty and physically honest cast had me. In the end the only really happy person was a dead 16 year old, and she is fine with it, trust me. It really does not spoil the end of the film to know, Girl Scout's Honor. Watch it and see. I think that we are meant to feel hope for the adults in this but, it seems inevitable that they will keep walking blindly into walls until they hopelessly crash into each other and just give in or give up. Maybe that's positive? For me as "they" say, it's about the journey. This is a fascinating handful of journeys elusively tied together, watch close.
