First about Jodie Foster. She is one helluva ride throughout this movie. Memorable and unforgettable performance. I am unlikely to forget her expressions in many of the frames. Come to think of it, when I think of her acting today, I see only the same controlled delivery. She really carries this movie. About this movie. Very simple story and yet powerful. Plot is good and fits 1976 era of culture - when society probably was more restrictive to kids. Plot - Rynn Jacobs is a thirteen-year-old girl who lives in a secluded house that she and her father have rented in a quiet seaside community. Rynn's father is never seen by anyone even if people tried and doesn't seem to be around, and it seems as if the girl is all alone. Is this true? .Rynn's resourcefulness is put to the test as several people try to find out what she might be hiding, including the snobby landlady and her sleazy son. My rating – 10 /10.
