    • Trivia
      Kelly Depeault was 17-years-old at the time of filming this movie, where she has some nude and explicit sex scenes. While director Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette admits that the shooting went smoothly, she also admits to having worked a lot with the actors during the sex scenes, the most delicate to stage, according to her. "That said, we really took care of it," she says. So in the end, it wasn't the scenes that were difficult. Dizzying and vulnerable, yes, but we had choreographed everything, down to the gesture. Nothing had been left to chance. We had a lot of hours of rehearsals for each of these scenes."

    Depressing Drama
    Kelly Depeault is the only reason for the four star rating. She is excellent in the lead role as the disaffected sixteen year-old daughter of a pair of mismatched parents. They fight with each other for the entire film.

    Catherine falls in with a drug taking crowd at her high school in Quebec and being a complete non drug taker all of my life, I could not relate in any way to the party animals in the movie.

    One hour and forty five minute of watching teenagers snort meth and pcp is not exactly my idea of a night of entertainment.

    Not one of the characters had any redeeming qualities and I did not care what happened to any of them.

    I hope for better things in the future for Ms. Depeault.
