Melaine Fairchild:
Ron Cooper forced you to have sex with him?
Lyn McKenna: You don't believe me?
Melaine Fairchild: *No*! Of course I don't believe you! Why would Ron Cooper have to rape anybody? He could have any girl in this campus with a flick of his eyebrow!
Lyn McKenna: Except me - he had to force me.

Annabeth Gish is one of the truly gifted young actors around and it is a pity she's not that well known. She has a vulnerability to her that is quite captivating and this film is a prime testament to that. I have seen this movie about ten years ago for the first time and it struck a chord with me. It is sensitive,intelligent and very mature in its handling of a difficult subject. It's not one dimensional and it doesn't choose the obvious solutions. It's powerful in a quiet sort of way, and features a strong performance by Paul Dooley as Gish's compassionate father. Gish who came to prominence after Desert Bloom and Mystic Pizza has rarely been given such a good part in the years ahead,which is a great shame. She deserves as much recognition as her Mystic Pizza co star Julia Roberts. Watch this film and I'm sure you'll agree.
