Girl Lost shows you the reality of these children's lives, and the filmmakers weren't afraid to show that a silver lining or happy ending isn't what happens to most of them. There's desperation, loss, betrayal, hopelessness, pain... all on a very real and believable scale. There are no moments of clarity or unexpected good fortunes to turn the characters lives around. It's harsh and bleak and relentless and utterly heartbreaking.
