It can be brutal enough just growing up a girl. Then add poverty, addiction, and God to the mix. Armed with a gun and a prayer, Emma and her cat bravely go where too many girls have gone before.

Andy F Sep 2 As beautiful as it is brutal, SMALL TIME is a movie that doesn't waste a single image. Every frame is intentional, and highlights the utterly mesmerizing performance of its young lead actress. A must-see. See more Liza R Mar 19 Beautiful, powerful, bleak, harrowing, hopeful, nuanced. An incredible portrayal of childhood at the fringes of American society. Crafted with a sharp eye to imagery and how it reflects the inner life of the characters. This one will stay with me.
