So much average

One of my all time favorites.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I understand it's a low budget film and I have NO issue with that, but the audio editing is GOD AWFUL and almost unbearable. I don't need to hear people chewing and munching and crunching non stop throughout the film. And there are MANY of these scenes. Why are the chewing and clinging sounds of spoons on plates at the dinner table ENHANCED to the same level as the dialogue, music etc? There is one note of audio through-out the film. From every creak of furniture to gulping of water, sniffing, scratching of pants, breathing, and just all types of unpleasant everyday audibles that DO NOT need to be enhanced on film...unless there is a purpose to it. This just felt like lazy audio editing.When it got to a scene where she was eating chips, i literally had to fast forward it a bit which was frustrating to do. I was seriously getting aggravated, I don't usually have such low tolerance for many films, but this one triggered me. This might seem like I'm making a LOT out of nothing, but these details are important and can make or break a film in many ways. The lead girl was also extremely agitating in her mannerisms and passive aggressive stupidity and naivety. She was not likeable in any way shape or form. I felt NO sympathy for her. That in and of itself does not make a film bad because that could (and I'm assuming was) done intentionally, but the overall combination of unlikable and downright irritating characters topped off with the infuriating sound effects made this a crappy film experience for me.

I try to give some independent films a chance, but 99% of the time they are just bad. This is no exception. The acting is bad. The writing is bad and the direction is bad.First, the actress playing the lead's mother is actually only 10 years older than the lead actress. What on earth were the director thinking? Actor playing the dad is 14 years older. Really? And the problem is, they look those ages and the director made zero attempt to age them in any way.Can we stop having 30 year old actresses play 16-18 year old? it is a frequent occurrence in too many films.Actors tend to overdo everything so it is up to the director to bring them down a few notches. There was no real initial reason for Annie's fascination with Jules. Seeing her dance for 5 seconds? Going to New York, why? Because the local waitress used to go to their high school...Stealing mints? What? Are there any films left based in reality? the money looked so fake and why do they have cash if it's online payments? Made ZERO sense.The writing is unimaginative and wooden. Didn't keep my interest for more than 40 minutes. It was painful. Please don't let the director make any more films...

Not in a totally good way unfortunately, but just stuff that does not fit with each other. Don't get me wrong there are a few things that work more than alright here. The relationship between the two girls, their desperation and their bond if you want to call it that. But there is also a lot that just feels plain wrong.While I am glad it didn't paint the one guy just simple colored, something you kind of expect, the turn he takes towards the end is just incredibly sad and miss-informed. Something to put on a show sort of. To get people riled up, to shock the viewers. It kind of achieves the opposite in my view. There was something there ... but like the girls, the movie missed a couple of opportunities ...

I've been on IMDb for years and never reviewed anything. There is no "I wish I was a real film critic" bs going on here. I just want to say that I loved it. It really reminded me of my teenage years and early 20's. I fell madly in love with this girl and we had a crazy relationship. We never did cam stuff because it wasn't a thing back then. We did have sugar daddies, and some of them were crazy as hell. This is a weird movie about drunk teenage girls that use men for money, so most people won't relate. But man, it reminded me of my life when I was young. I loved the movie. This isn't really a review at all. I'm just saying that I enjoyed it. My only issues were that the mom looked like 5 years older than Annie. She could have been her older sister, and the title makes no sense. If you "entertained" middle aged men for money as a teenager, this movie is for you! lol
