Emanuel Levy Variety This powerfully raw Australian film depicts a harrowing, ultra-realistic coming-of-age portrait of a group of tough teenage girls. Rated: B Jul 24, 2007 Full Review Robert Faires Austin Chronicle Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Picture's running time of one-hour will limit its theatrical prospects, but it should travel the festival road and serve as calling card for its gifted director, Anna Kokkinos.
