What to Know

Critics Consensus

Hick's talented young star is ill served by a film whose story wavers between discomfitingly inappropriate and simply muddled.

Stephen Fitzpatrick The Australian Hick is worth the effort -- and it does have some genuinely witty writing. Oct 1, 2012 Full Review Matt Singer Time Out Chicago And so it came to Chlo Grace Moretz, as it must to all child actors: puberty. Rated: 1/5 Jun 1, 2012 Full Review Drew Hunt Chicago Reader Ambles back and forth between tomfoolery and strained seriousness. May 24, 2012 Full Review Richard Haridy Quickflix Derek Martini's second feature - after the competent Lymelife - is a confused mess of awkward tonal shifts and boring narrative tangents all encased in the discomforting shell of a Lolita fantasy. Rated: 1/5 Nov 25, 2013 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Just a notch above dismal. Even with the star power Jul 25, 2013 Full Review Matt Pais RedEye Recognizes that kids can't expect the grass to be greener but comes too close to suggesting that you can expect others to mow your lawn. Rated: 1.5/4 May 24, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

April B I thought the film was really well done. Sad but honest at the same time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/19/23 Full Review zee As usual the book was better than the movie. I feel like the movie had a wonderful cast and did a pretty good job with being true to the book but something about the movie is extremely lackluster and I felt like they could of done way better especially with the cast they had. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/05/23 Full Review Sam S Was very surprised this movie was entertaining but it was highly watchable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/23 Full Review Shayla for life 1 my fav movie to ever exist shows attraction to a older man at a Younge age perfectly Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review That G I love this film. One of the best "slice-of-life" views of young women in poverty whilst still being entertaining and compelling enough to keep non-arthouse lovers engaged. You follow a beautiful coming-of-age tale with genuine violence and danger, which is the reality for a lot of young women. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/06/23 Full Review Sky S C I found this movie compelling and horrifying. I don't think I'd watch it again, but if you want to see something super fucked up, then it's probably worth considering. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/22 Full Review Read all reviews
