wow!

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2005)

I thought this was going to be another exploitation of the older man/little girl fantasy like LOLITA or something. Wrong! This movie shows people and American suburbia at its worst, but also highlights some of the best through the eyes of one of the most unlikely character. There are no saints in this movie--one of the goals seems to be to break down unreal impressions/images we hold. W SEMI-spoiler ahead When one of these unreal visions comes to pieces it makes a pivotal moment for a lead character, but unfortunately too late--as a result of another character's inability to see the truth.
Not a happy film, but was still inspiring at the same time.
