see this film. it's not too often one comes along like it.
the performances are subtle and intriguing. thora birch is fantastic. she shows a range of emotion you don't see in many young actors these days. she's visually striking and enthralling to watch. scarlett johannsen plays an incredibly realistic rebecca. low key and nearly monotone, she's perfected the teen "everyone else is so lame" role. steve buscemi is... steve buscemi. classic indie actor. love him.
having said that, the script and story is what makes this movie jump off the screen. it's subtle and quirky enough to be truly believable. it sucked me in and never let go. the humor is clever enough to be genuine laugh out loud. none of that fake giggling.
in a summer of lame teen flicks, here's a smart and sassy film with real heart.
check it out. really.
