This film turned out to be a coming of age story, mostly about a teenager named Lucy Diamond and played by Sarah Bolger. I really think she did a good job of playing a sort of mixed up teenager. The reason I checked out this film is, because it also stared Claire Daines, from the popular Showtime series ‘Homeland’. She played Lucys mother. It was a bit difficult for me to separate her from the series ‘Homeland‘. So it was a bit weird for me to see her in this film. I guess I have her stereotyped as one crazy CIA analyst, but I will eventually be able to shake it one day hopefully.
There was a rape scene in this film, as Lucy was exploring her sexuality. I found it strange that she did not go to the authorities, but figured this probably happens all the time in real life. The film started out slow but got better halfway through. I would stop short of recommending it, but it was entertaining.
