The movie follows an every-day activity of a no manner, bad-temper 15- year old girl who grows up in a terrible neighborhood with a bad and insensitive mother. Her miserable life is stirred when she meets her alcoholic mother's new good-looking boyfriend. The sexual tension is immense and it feels real. I praise the movie for its realistic plot; it's totally could be something happening right now somewhere. I also love the good acting. However, because the movie tries hard to replicate the life and relationship in a realistic way, it comes off drag on, boring, bleak, depressing, and it provides no value from an entertaining viewpoint. The movie ends leaving me shallow like an empty fish tank.
But thanks to this movie, I found Bobby Womack's version of California Dreaming. Love this rendition.
