This is an old story, and there are many many movies and books that revolve around the subject - Valley of the Dolls springs to mind and Days of wine and roses - but in those movies the final outcome is just well... shall we say, drear. This movie covers a different stance and is quite heart warming which is such a surprise in this day and age. Low on big names but (not altogether devoid) big on talent this movie will surprise and enchant you. The main character really gives you the impression that there is no hope for redemption and as such you may be leaning toward that outcome. Its a very easy watch with stellar performances from the main protagonist and others such as Jane Paulie. Really a must see for this little indie title. Pehaps a lesson can be learned here as well after all the main character never hurts anyone but herself.
