DrDumb Review of Girl on the Edge

Girl on the Edge (2015)

Don't let the rating fool you, it was great to be honest

[6/10 · 13 February 2024]

The rating was so bad, but the movie was not bad to be honest. A young teenage girl had to unwellingly turn herself into a rehab after someone she had an intimate contact with posted her unmentionable pics online. The rehab was located in somewhere where people got to embrace what the best Mother Nature had: animals and greens. It was a residential wildness treatment where people could get a close encounter with animals and nature. This could be the best treatment for those people who have been hurt so badly by someone or sth in their lifetimes. Wildness program is much more effective than any shrinks or pills because I have been there: all the troubles, all the unhappiness are left behind, while indulging myself in the beauty of Mother Nature. It was a good treatment for Hannah. But the movie lacked some scenes that it could tell us how hurt Hannah was, how difficult it was for Hannah to live in the farm and how difficult it was for her to recover. Without those scenes, it made her story less appealing so it was hard for me to feel for her.
