My Review:
I watched this for the first time a few weeks ago. I've loved Michael Pitt for a long time, and he hasn't been doing much lately, so I was glad to finally see it. In my opinion, it was actually pretty disturbing.. and it takes a lot to get to me. I liked Brady Corbet and I really hope to see him in more movies coming out soon.. really good actor, as was the rest of the cast. Devon Gearhart was super-cute and super-talented. Definetly deserved his Young Artist Award nomination. In terms of the plot, not what I was expecting from the trailer, it was better!
Rating:
