Directed and written by actress Lori Petty based on her own life as a teenager with a drug-addicted prostitute as her mother.
A young Jennifer Lawrence of Hunger Games fame play Agnus (which is supposed to be Lori as a teen, why the name change I'm not sure but I guess it doesn't matter) and she does so really well.
Selma Blair plays her mother, although she's not really worthy the title of a mother in all honesty.
Anyways overall the acting is very good and it has a lot of really good scenes but the narrative is a little off at times to the point it gets a little confusing, for instance a long while in the movie I thought Chloe Grace Moretz character was Agnus when she was younger but that was not the case, and the job scene just felt like another movie with Jennifer Lawrence playing another character.
Anyway if you can look aside stuff like that this still is definitely worth watching.
I give it a 6.5/10.
