I thought this movie was really good. It shows what a lot of girls go through when growing up, can't say I've been there but whatever. It shows one girl, who is abit of loser, trying to be "cool". She meets Evie and all of sudden fits in. At the beginning of the film, when Tracy was trying to befriend Evie, I thought everything was coming abit too easy for Tracy. She makes friends really quickly with Evie, she steals that womans purse way too easy, and as soon as she threw out her old clothes she magically got new ones about 2 minutes later. The acting is superb and I can't believe that Reed and Wood are only 16 and 17. They both look about 19/20. They play Thirteen year olds in the film though, obviously. You don't learn much about Reed character (Evie) but I don't think the audience are supposed to, and you never quite know if she's telling the truth when talking about her background. Wood (Tracy) does a brilliant job and I really believe that she is going through all that pain, especially at the end when her mother Mel (played by Holly Hunter) is trying to hold her and comfort her. The thing that stands out the most for me is the acting. It is brilliant. And the two girls (who are so young but so talented) really do make the viewer believe in the story and characters. I would recommend this to everyone, especially teenagers. 9/10
