It can be brutal enough just growing up a girl. Then add poverty, addiction, and God to the mix. Armed with a gun and a prayer, Emma and her cat bravely go where too many girls have gone before. It's a war, and we gotta win it. Drama On a fictional cinema level, made on a dollar and a half, then join me in this torturous bubble bath of masochistical juvenileism that will make you feel punched and pommeled with every second minute, that gives a view of a life of an american kid living in the desolate rural scrapyards ,where the wilderness is so deep that neither police nor child services can find their way. Im grumpy and im old, and i know what it is like to live with chronic angst most of my adult life, i cannot even imagine how a life among addicts, murderers and really ill family connections must feel like, so thank god its just fiction , but im afraid its durable and realistic anyhow.
