A poetic movie about the life in the wild, and the challenge of growing up. Robert Carlyle nailed his role also this time. Sadly this film is hard to find, I luckily found it on a airplane. Worth watching.

An interesting movie, Good acting, strong performance. Somewhat disturbing story. The Ending was a let down, as this movie is based on a true story, the movie closes on the girl taking a flight... The true story, her becoming a fairly successful model despite her upbringing, I dont know why they would not have included the smallest piece of that, to give the story a stronger ending... I do not feel the ending did the film justice. If you watch it, do uour own research to find some happy closure.

As a fan of the book, I was eager to watch the movie. The movie missed out on a lot of the book and jumped around way too much. I watched it with someone who hadn't read the book and he had a very difficult time following the very jumpy timeline.

Amazing memoir of Cea Sunshine growing up in a crazy unstable world successfully, I can only hope she will have a part two film to complete the next journey of her story in her 2017 memoir Nearly Normal.
