“I didnu0026#39;t really know anything about this movie before I went into this movie and I think that was to my benefit, the plot summary IMO would have spoiled it a bit for me as it all takes a while to unfold.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo put it short itu0026#39;s about a guy whou0026#39;s more or less a loser who falls for the rich pretty girl who likes to live on the edge of life which will cause serious consequences for the both of them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt doesnu0026#39;t really feel like a natural progress at times, characters seem to just be going with the flow a little too easy but the stellar acting from Shiloh Fernandez and Haley Bennet (who reminds me a bit of Jennifer Lawrence) and the co-stars make the movie still work.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt starts out with a saying that itu0026#39;s based on a true story, how much is true though I really donu0026#39;t know, itu0026#39;s set in the 80u0026#39;s so I imagine that that when the true story occurred.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf youu0026#39;re looking for a gripping story that will keep you on the edge of your seat than perhaps this is the wrong movie, but if you want to watch a melancholic indie drama then this will do.”
