Good film, but it feels like it's missing something.
4 July 2009
Despite great efforts from the cast (excluding most of the child actors) and having it's heart in the right place, I can't help but feel like this little indie film is pushing buttons that don't necessarily need to be pushed.

The inconsistency with certain elements kind of let me down and confused me. There were just so many open doors that were never closed or explored. Whether this is intentional or not it's still nevertheless unsatisfying.

This isn't a bad film and it features a good performance by Elle Fanning (which surprised me because I can't stand her sister Dakota). I'd say to give this a chance, but don't buy it without viewing it first.
