Great Film overall
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
A story that needs to be told and debated. Something that should be watched and considered. Who is at fault here? Who do we punish? What is the solution. Can you live your entire young life doing everything right and all of a sudden find out that you are criminal for something that you had nothing to do with? This has been talked about for years from the "Dream Act" to amnesty. Solutions have been talked about but nothing has been done. In the meantime we ruin the lives of young people that have worked hard to be who we have asked them to be but we have failed to be who they deserve. The future of any country is the success of it's youth. How can we succeed if we cast aside our best and brightest because they have no way of making things right. Watch this movie, meet one of these young people and decide where you fall on this issue.
