It plays like a walk on the wild side dreamed up in a Starbucks.

Scott Von Doviak, Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com

An almost constantly surprising coming-of-age film with a dark twist that manages to take the high road with what is well-exploited material.

Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News
Fresh

A solid character piece that deftly probes the complicity of both sides in a morally dubious relationship.

Todd McCarthy, Variety

Ivey is fascinating, cooing nonstop in a cozy Southern accent, friendly and accepting, but also observant and oddly unknowable. It's a performance that even gets better on second viewing.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh

Sweet, suspenseful, funny, poignant -- and adult.

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
