Fantastic and real acting. Very refreshing to see. I can't say enough about Elizabeth Olsen. She's the most promising actress I've seen in a long... e and I look forward to seeing what else she does. I agree with the others about the ending. Not thrilled about it for sure. It's a very disturbing movie. It fits more into the drama category as far as i'm concerned. It's very emotional and difficult to watch at times due to subject matter. Warning if you are sensitive to rape scenes this is not for you. I am still in awe at the way this movie was done. Very impressive. The kind of movie that lingers with you. It's pretty depressing and creepy at the same time. The thing that gets you is really believing this stuff takes place and can happen to your child or someone you know. Very tragic and like I said disturbing but a quality movie none the less.

This is certainly not a film you'll leave with a smile on your face. Interesting material but the ending leaves you wondering why you spent the... . Don't waste your money. Full Review
The acting was good. The main character however, was too troubled and therfore, her perception of events was too convoluted to make any sense.
This may be the biggest waste of $10 I've ever spent. My wife and I saw it with another couple--we all agreed--IT WAS BEYOND TERRIBLE!!!!!!... sing, dis-jointed, full of too many flashbacks--an incredible waste of celluloid. DON'T GO SEE IT!!! Full Review
The ending makes no sense. Otherwise, the film is interesting.
