The honesty of this film shines through the rest of the good story. The unanswered silences from the teen-age characters is so right on the money. The theme song about the Teen Battlefield is, unfortunately, true. I love the line--"everyone out there are perverts". For a teen girl these days, that is so true. The convoluted story makes sense, hangs together and is real. The beauty of the cast is great. The child-like innocence that the blonde looks like is at sharp odds with her developemnt, as is true with anyone at that age. The image of her and her sister praying is oh-so-perfect. A good film and well worth a watch.
