Movie Reviews

Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Sheri LindenIneptitude abounds in this ham-fisted thirteen wannabe.
L.A. Weekly - 4/10 by Chuck WilsonLee has heaped so many social ills on his heroine that it's difficult to buy any of it, especially when the story slips into silliness involving bad guys and missing drugs.
Los Angeles Times - 4/10 by Kevin ThomasA lot of uneven acting is also no small detriment to this frequently awkward film's credibility.
Variety - 3/10 by Robert KoehlerThis cautionary melodrama about a Korean-American teen girl's slide into depravity is too inconsequential and too earnest to belong in the So Bad It's Good category; rather, it's merely bad.
User Review - 8/10 by Rob LGranted, this film may seem slow and boring, but I honestly like it because of the fact that it shows the chaotic life of a teenager, and it also shows the adults trying to understand save her from going down the wrong path. It may be a bit cliched, but its definitely worth the time to watch and is enjoyable on a several levels.
User Review - 6/10 by James HJeez, RT critics, chill. It is hardly that bad. It's well acted, believable for the most part, I was never not interested. The movie has a point, and makes it clear, no beating around the bush. I found it very compelling. Sensitive direction. It worked for me, I felt for the characters, they moved me.
