    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In a March 2001 interview with "Shout" magazine, Fairuza Balk stated that out of all her films, this was her favorite. She indicated that "this film is very close to my heart. As a girl, I was very much like my character Shade. I was shy. I was a loner."
    • Goofs
      When Shade buys fabric softener at the store next to the laundromat the store's sign is backwards. It would read "closed" if you were to try to come through the front door ("open" faces inward).
    • Quotes

      Raymond: [barely playing along as if they were strangers] So, what line of work are you in, Miss Evans?

      Nora: Oh please, call me Nora.

      Raymond: Nora. Nora, Nora...

      Nora: I'm a brain surgeon, mainly. How 'bout you?

      Raymond: I'm a grave digger myself. Um, digging my own as we speak. Rapidly.

      Nora: Well that makes two things you do quick.

    Wonderful 90s movie
    Watching this in 2020, I really enjoyed this movie. Fairuza Balk was great as usual. Reading the other reviews, this definitely does portray what it's like to be a woman - whether a younger girl or older teen or single mother raising two daughters. I loved how the end message was really everyone gets lonely and love comes in all forms.
