Over deze film

Seventeen-year-old Lea (Lily McInerny) spends her summer break aimlessly tanning in her backyard with her best friend, tiptoeing around her needy mother, and getting stoned with a group of boys from school. This monotony is interrupted by a chance encounter with Tom, (Jonathan Tucker) an older man who promises an alternative to Lea's unsatisfying adolescent life. But as things progress between them, red flags about Tom's life begin to surface, and Lea chooses to ignore them. Under Tom's influence, Lea begins to see her mom as unfit and her friends as a waste of her time. Isolated from those around her, Lea discovers Tom's true intentions and finds herself in a situation that she never could have imagined.

This was a disturbing piece of art. Jonathan Tucker's portrait of a charming predator left me speechless. Also Lilly is an amazing actress, so talented and pure. This movie left me speechless and can't stop thinking about it (actually planning on re-watching it again, to let it all sink in my heart and probably marking me FOREVER).

Good!
