There are so few females in leading roles and carrying a picture. This movie has just that. And the actress carries the entire picture well. She is a beautiful girl and I read they had to make her not so pretty for the role- she did really well, the entire cast was good. The movie is meaty. It has substance and a big surprise ending. I don't want to spoil it for anyone- good picture. Once Hollywood gets it through their heads that we like strong female actresses there will be good good films with depth made like this one. A movie should not have to sensationalize with F everywhere and nudity in order to get an audience's attention. Our 8 year old watched this with us and she loved it.

Touching film, too many F everywhere and not necessary
4 December 2014
Warning: Spoilers
The movie is well made. The acting is good by all. The director and producer did not need to sensationalize this way just to get the audience's attention. I left the theater liking Reese quite a bit less. It is a shame. It's a heartfelt movie and just overdone with f all over the place. It's not a film for everyone. My girlfriend of almost 9 years did not find it heartfelt or amusing. I don't mind a little bit when necessary. This was a grab for attention. NOT necessary. It was good to see a female lead carrying the film so well. Laura Dern was amazing also. The director and producers should wake up. We could have taken much from the film if it had not been covered over with lowly executed sexual activity and with the "F" word being the star of the show rather than the actresses. It was a grab for attention. It is a shame. This movie could have been a good one. I was generous in giving it a 7.
