“It became messy. The constant out of nowhere outbursts. I wish the script had been better structured, because it had potential. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you are going to tease the audience with the seductive trailer, then you also need to show some of it, but unfortunately it kept getting cut short of anything ever happening, which youu0026#39;ll know what I am talking about if you see it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe writers/directors should have focused on the relationship between Laura and the teenage girl, but it just seemed to go into other directions that it didnu0026#39;t need to. It could have been a better film with the manipulative relationship between the older women and the teenage girl and raising the stakes of her wanting to leave or be discovered. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt just got weirder and weirder. And the acting was good, so itu0026#39;s just a shame. There were a lot of calm moments and then out of nowhere — craziness — and not in a good way.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe subject matter was just not handled right. The movie just went down hill, fast – unfortunately. Just too many things happened that werenu0026#39;t believable.”
