Steve D The acting is solid but it is just too disturbing for its tone, Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Luciano B Love this movie and its themes. The cast are all really good and the storytelling is very top notch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/10/22 Full Review Audience Member Our protagonist is Ten-year-old girl Devon Stockard , she is alone and isolated as the family has recently moved with aspirations of her fairly rich father to become board member of local community. She develops friendship with a 20 something young man who mows lawns around her neighbourhood, the son of a soldier father, he lives a secluded life in trailer as Trent is reviled and looked down upon by those he works for. Rather than the neighbourhood, it is the girl's parents including her debauched mother that make her feel like a free witch with belief in pagan beings around her. She takes the freedom of urinating on the windshield glass of the car and get it washed with car wiper. The movie runs as psychological drama, the girl is more intelligent than her age, towards the end she save the life of her friend. They end up true and loyal to each other with the following terms:- "we're not friends, we are hunters! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Kinda creepy, kinda cool . Kinda corny, kinda cool . Idk what to make of this . I thought the girl was so good at acting until about 15 minutes left 3.2 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/25/20 Full Review Audience Member She loved him, and she saved him and engineered his escape, and he can never come back. She's shot the man who tried to molest her, and perhaps killed him. What's left for her now? There are numerous hints in the movie, little signs. The constant emphasis on the colour red - blood red. The hole in the middle of those cookies - like a bullet hole. Devon insisting she mustn't climb that tree because if she does it will put too much of a strain on her heart, implying that could kill her. And finally the significance of the earlier falling-out-of-the-tree scene. Going up the ribbon-tree at the end meant she could save his life, by some strange nature magic - even if only in her head. But the ending we don't see is her fall, her death, the sacrifice which seals the magic. A life for a life. There's a lot more to this film than a casual viewing shows you, and the acting of Mischa Barton is stunning - and absolutely crucial to making the movie believable. Mischa may have had troubles later in her life, but here she is incredibly talented. Bravo, Mischa, for leaving us this performance. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review kyle v Reviewed 3.10.17. An indie showcase for Sam Rockwell's burgeoning star alongside a spirited debut for Mischa Barton. The chemistry of the two leads carries the movie past its flaws to an unpredictable and fanciful ending, which I thoroughly enjoyed. If you tend towards the quirky stuff, or recognize Rockwell as one of America's most beguiling actors, this is a 90's art house movie not to be missed.
