Negative Positive
Title: Exploration of guilt
Review: Ellen Page gives another wonderful performance in a film about 15 year old girl Tracey, growing up in a family with less than caring parents and an austistic younger brother. Her story is fragmented, disjointed and incoherent and movie's direction seems to follow that state of mind. Is Tracey mentally sick, or is something else going on with her young life that is causing her to run away from home and risk her young life to poverty, sexual abuse and street life?It is almost at the end of this film that we learn the full reason for her angst. Guilt is overwhelming her young life and she has no one to open to and relieve that pain. The circumstances of her brother's disappearance (and most likely death) are difficult to accept even for adult let alone fro a young sensitive woman who is taunted at her high school as she is neglected at home.
Is the review positive or negative?
