Goddess of the Fireflies

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.
