It's odd how some reviewers seem to have found this film lacking . . . but one can never account for personal taste, or limited range of interest.
As for me, however, this film is brilliant! I've seen Rosario's work in other films (7 pounds, with Will Smith and Woody Harrelson comes to mind), but here, she is the perfect rendition of the character she portrays, and perhaps that's why some people are disturbed by this story and how it unfolds.
No fluff here, it cuts to the bone in a range of interrelated themes which are perhaps a little too close to home for some, but I will offer this bit of insight, without providing a spoiler (which I never do in any reviews), the ending is, well . . . rewarding in its own way. You won't see it coming until the very last scene, but when it comes, you will appreciate the ironically unique fashion in which justice, even in the darkest of circumstances, does have a way of becoming manifest.
This may be Rosario's best work yet, but no doubt she will have her chance at other roles yet to come.
