A free-spirited 15-year-old girl flirts with a dangerous stranger in the
Northern California suburbs and must prepare herself for the
frightening and traumatic consequences.
Laura Dern is extraordinary in this realistic, dark adaptation of a Joyce Carol Oates' story; the final sequence is particularly intense and harrowing.
Halliwell (no star): "Unattractive scenario about thoroughly dislikeable people."
Maltin**1/2: "Disarmingly realistic...Williams...all but deadens rest of the film. Worth seeing if only for Dern's fine performance. Impressive feature debut for documentary director Chopra..."
