Ouch. Don't go into this expecting a good time.

All I can say is the kid's performance was great and the plot keeps you engaged, but for those prone to depressive thoughts I'd advise you to skip this. It might be the very thing that drives you over the edge.

Hardly anyone here is sympathetic, even most of the so-called 'nice' characters do something jerky by the end to make you not like them.

But like I said, it's a very intriguing work... particularly the title character, who is a textbook case of a messed up child. Someone get her to a good quack pronto. 6/10.

This movies is so bad, I can't believe that nobody decided to throw out the script. Amyone who likes it must be either very stupid or 11 years old.

Firstly, you should know, I DON'T like these kind of movies. I like action movies and this is not an action movie. Also I like sci-fi and this is not sci-fi. What it is, is a surprisingly good representation of the kind of mixed up lives that many "normal" families end up living these days. Sadie displays many characteristics typical of any 13 year old kid that you know, along with the messy family structure, and events, that are common to many. The directing is clever and avoids overstating many of the small steps that are instead left as implied, and eventually build up to an unfortunate (although somewhat predicable) finale.
